4. Weekend Engineering Works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmMIbjtEc28 Nothing robs the joy from your soul more than arriving at the Met stop to see a sign saying Replacement Buses this Way. Unless you dont see the sign until after youve bought your weekend travel pass. Thatll rob the joy from your soul and make actual steam come out of your ears. The thing about weekend engineering works is their depressing inevitability. You can pretty much guarantee that on the one Saturday of the year where you have the energy, funds and time to take yourself on a day out, the trams won't be running between Market Street and wherever the hell you live. Actually, to be fair, some of those engineering works are because of this, which looks quite nice.
