“Which bits of the Tube network will have trains on this particular strike day?” That was one of my daily tasks over the past week. As you will know, members of the RMT union working for the London Underground walked out and brought the capital to a gridlocked halt for the best part of the week. Almost all of the Tube network was shut down, but each day, a few random stretches would open.
Mostly, they were the outermost reaches of the network, such as the couple of stops between Arnos Grove and Cockfosters on the Piccadilly line. But on Tuesday, I was able to complete a loop of central London on the briefly resurrected Northern line. And on the last full day of the strike, my bingo card was completed by the Metropolitan line from Baker Street to Harrow-on-the-Hill.
