Radio London reporting that pay-as-you-go system has packed up for tube use. Refunds promised. Contractors blamed. I love working from home.

Andy Jaeger:

"I'm eternally astonished at the variety of routes that are possible between two points in London. I travel from Balham to Victoria on the train, then get the tube to Oxford Circus. I needn't though.

I could even, though I'm not sure why I would, get a bus to Elephant & Castle and walk from there."

All aboard.
