The Anonymous Widower

An Express Return to Suffolk

I must admit, I did leave a few minutes before the end of the match, but time was tight, if I was to make my taxi home, as he had a later booking to collect someone from Gatwick.

So by 17:14, I was on a London train out of Fratton station.

Waterloo to Liverpool Street is one of those journeys that isn’t the best on the Underground. You can change from Northern to Central at Tottenhsm Court Road, but because I had my case with me, I’d found out before that there was a direct bus; the 26, which stops just outside the back entrance to Waterloo and goes directly to Liverpool Street.  It was a good choice, especially as it dropped me at the Bishopsgate entrance at Liverpool Street.  I just had time to purchase a ticket from a machine that worked, unlike at Whittlesford, and then board the train.

Admittedly, it was a few minutes late into the station, but the taxi was there and I was watching the television by a quarter to nine.  So it was about three and a half hours door-to-door!
