Missed the last train home.

I usually drive when I go out at night and of course this means no alcohol. Last Friday I took the Brompton to Walthamstow for a girls night in. I also couldn’t take the car because one of the Blackwall Tunnel links closes after 9pm which means no south bound traffic until morning when it reopens.

I had such a good time on my one large glass of wine that I missed the last rail train from London Bridge back to Greenwich. I admit I was a little wobbly cycling back to the to Walthamstow Centre tube station. I had to catch the underground train all the way back to North Greenwich. For once the Jubilee Line was open. In my head I was talking to our Mayor Boris Johnson and asking why we still don’t have a 24 hours underground service in London at the weekends and what will happen when the 2012 Olympics opens

I got the last tube south and then it took me nearly an hour to cycle home. I haven’t been night cycling since last summer.
