This is one of those instances I’d wait for the third train. In this heat I’m already going to have liquid underwear by that time, but at least I might get a seat.
Indeed, who the fuck wants to go to Ruislip
Especially if you want to get to Epping
I can feel the stagnant heat radiating off this image…
I once got a bus in Laos and the driver told me the journey would be 7 hours and it ended up being 17 hours. Even then I wasn’t as angry as I am when I see waiting times like this on the tube.
North West London 🤢
Fucking central line
Just got off one of these trains. It was dangerously overcrowded. The emergency brake kept activating from people being pressed against the doors, and the temperature felt like 30. These trains need faster fixing but instead tfl have just deleted the page saying there’s anything wrong with them.
I remember when my wife’s friend who lived in a village in the Peak District visited us for the weekend.
We had just missed the tube and the next one was 9 minutes away.
We got annoyed by this. He just said *”Where I live, if I miss the train the next one is in 2 hours”*.
Thanks for the reality check
Anything over 7 and I’m walking. The only thing worse than a late train is a hot, crowded late train.
It’s even better when you get on one, then they randomly stop and kick everyone off at a totally inconvenient stop for no reason, then you look at the board and see this.
I waited 15 minutes at Bond St! I’m still on the train now, two stops from Zone 5 home. It’s been a nightmare – a standing room, too hot, long wait nightmare.
Platform steadily filling up, that 11 minute train full of people pancaked against the doors and windows, those next two much the same, always seems to happen when the heat down there is at its insufferably stifling worst. More often than not I’ll just leave the station in this situation to have a quiet pint and wait for this to all blow over
Sounds like the nineties are back….
Unacceptable. Riot.
We should riot for the new central line trains one certain Boris Johnson promised while dangling from a zip line.
Good old Central Line *from Hell!*
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to end up at any of them enjoy either
What is the context of this photo?
I’d go back up top and start walking. No point me standing around getting annoyed, i’d rather get a few more steps in and take in the scenery walking to the next stop, by which point a few trains should have cleared out the crowding.
Time for an impromptu pub crawl…
these waiting times in this specific direction irks me to no end 😭😭😭😭 COUNTLESS NIGHTS spent waiting here for the last train at silly o’clock with times like this ugh
Get the tube the other direction then jump back on the original one – you’ll get a seat for sure!
I had my car stolen from the West Ruislip station car park.
the worst!
You know each is going to be a pack hot sardine can
The trains that I needed were all very crap today. I wasn’t impressed. Had to take 3 trains and walk for a usual 2 train journey. Was too tired to be livid though.
I’m so fucking happy I don’t commute on the central line because this would be one of the worst things ever for me to experience during the summer, and I’m a huge summer fan too 😭😭😭

The horror! The horror!
And it will be packed. Wait for the one after.
