On The Move…

Factually speaking, the “serious incident” that’s currently unfolding on the London underground and bus system is nowhere as horrific and shocking as the “major incident” that took place two weeks to the day. Yet, psychologically this was far more upsetting for me. It’s kind of spooky to walk out of the office at 3.30pm and see loads of slightly disoriented people, many in business suits, wandering around. I saw a woman crying on one of the side streets.  I hope she was caught up in her own personal drama unrelated to the explosions.  Apparently the bus incident happened just around the corner form here, so they’ve closed the main street to traffic. The view of empty sunlit city streets always struck me as both desolate and apocalyptic.

I want to go home now. Except the Northern line which I normally take is currently closed.
