The Anonymous Widower

Welcome To Kings Cross

I started my trip to Blackpool, yesterday by going to St. Pancras station for breakfast at Carluccio’s, as because of its location it opens early at 7:30 am on every day except Sunday, when it is ninety minutes later.

So to catch the 10:30 train out of Euston to go north for Preston and Blackpool, it is convenient pit stop, as there is nothing but gluten-rich food at Euston. And also at Kings Cross, there is Leon, so journeys to the north for me, nearly always go through the station.

But it was very heartening to be greeted at the gate of the Underground by “Come on the Tractor Boys!” from one of the station staff.  So it wasn’t busy, but one of the things that marks out the London Underground above most systems in the rest of the world, is the help, guidance  and jokes from station staff.

It all makes the system go round easily!
