Im in paris despite missing my train. I got up at 5:30 and made it to the tube by 6:30. On Sundays, the first train is at 7:28. I was supposed to be checked in at 7:30. I rode another train to a different line and discovered all trains were this way with the exception of one going in the opposite direction. I met a guy from Austrailia who was born and raised in London. He assured me that the trains were always on time. I suppose I could have taken a taxi for 100 us dollars. I decided to take a chance. I waited for the 7:28 train. Bad idea. We came to a stop in between stations and sat there for 45 minutes due to - severe signaling-. That sounded serious. People were a little freaked with all that went on in London.
I got to the station at 8:15 holding my non exchangeable or refundable ticket for 8:01. The man was nice enough to get me on the next train after an earful - Right...be on time next time.
Tell that to the tube.
