Stuck on the tube

I arrived at Baker Street just past 6:00 p.m. and hopped on the southbound Jubilee train. About ten minutes later, just past Green Park station, the train came to a halt. I got out my book and started reading. Around 6:30 p.m., the lights went out, and the driver got on the intercom to say that we were stuck momentarily and that he hoped we would be moving again soon. The next thing I knew, it was nearly 7:00 p.m., and we were still not moving. The driver informed us that he had no communication with anyone, and that we were probably going to be there for a while. Around 8:45, we were told that we were just one of 9 trains stuck on the Jubilee line, due to a power cut, and that the cavalry was finally on its way to help us off the train. Finally, we started moving towards the back of the train and were led through the dark tunnels to safety. When we finally got back to Green Park station (which was less 200 meters away from where we had been for the last three hours), they gave us a bottle of water and that was it. I then spent the next 45 minutes trying to find a bus that would take me home, and around 10:20 (five hours after leaving the office in Reading), I was home.

So there you have it. London transport rules!!
