Trainspotting: Getting the Dope - Delhi

In fairness though things are not a lot better in my home country

Having lived in London for the last 32 years one has to remember the population is a good deal bigger than it was and the transport system is now much busier. The increase in the availability of cheap flights also contributes since many travelers chose the tube as their preferred means to get to Heathrow. When I first moved to London there were times of the day when you could find quiet trains with plenty of empty seats but that seldom happens now. In addition the Thatcher era meant little or no investment in Britain's railways. We are now playing a game of 'catch up' the rest of Europe, most notably the French and Germans have much better and more reliable services.

Northern line, 10 stop trip, middle of summer............worse then a walk through Bangkok in April.
