Picture this. It’s 6:59am and you’ve managed to tackle the icy uphill climb of the underground station steps to arrive at the platform, only mildly winded. A glance up at the digital board tells you that your train, somehow, won’t be arriving for another six minutes. As we all know when it comes to TFL, six minutes can feel like an absolute lifetime. So, what to do?
Luckily, your local station sits above ground. Despite the brisk winter air and the fact that you can see your breath making smoky swirls above your head, you breathe an icy sigh of release. The early start has left you bereft of the ability to read your current book, but you still can use your phone.
