The Anonymous Widower

Chaos at Highbury And Islington Station

I was going to Broadstairs today, by taking the high speed train from St. Pancras. As I’d got a parcel to post before, I decided to take 38 or 56 bus to Essex Road Post Office and then get a 73 bus to the station after dropping the parcel. But for some reason, the 38 and 56 were in short supply, but there were two 277.

So I took one to Highbury and Islington station, with the intention of using the Post Office there and then taking the Victoria line to St. Pancras.

But unlike other post Offices locally, the one at Highbury and Islington station didn’t open until nine, rather than eight-thirty.  As it was twenty minutes before the hour, I decided to take the Victoria line, so I could use the Post Office by Kings Cross station.

But then I got stuck in the jam of those getting into the station for fifteen minutes. Transport for London haven’t seemed to have organised the escalator servicing in the best way possible. I should have taken my own advice.
