Oh, how foolishly optimistic you were when you first took that job in London: Never fear. The train takes but 25 minutes from Stevenage to our fare capital, London. Ah, the wonders of the modern transport network. 32 miles in less time than it takes to get to the horoscopes in the Metro which of course I never read. Well, yes, out of curiosity, obviously. Tally ho, the big city awaits. What you somehow forgot to remind yourself is that unless you actually work in Kings Cross station, youve potentially only completed a fraction of your journey time-wise once you arrive in London. Its officially the slowest rush-hour city in the whole of Europe.
