The ‘Blackout’
I wasn't caught directly in the power failure last night - which is to say that I was somewhere where the lights went off, but I wasn't stuck on a tube train or anything too grim.
I did have a bit of an evil journey home on the buses, however, which were of course heaving, and the bus that I eventually got onto terminated short so that it could be sent back into the central area, where there was apparemtly a shortage.
This morning's Metro, with its 'just like New York' approach, seems to have missed some small details regarding the scale of the New York experience, however....
