I do you can't drive in London really tho.

It a train. London underground

I thought a subway was an underground train. but i'm dumb so who knowsLike illegal to drive or just congested. I know how that is. It takes me 35 minutes to get home from work every single day. I only work 7 miles from my house. Sucks. I feel bad for ya

First time it snowed this year... took me 1 hour 50 minutes to drive 7 damn miles :grump:

No isnt illegal just really busy and nowhere to park, not worth the hassle. I'm not too sure what a subway is really, dont really use the word.

Don't worry I'm well used to the bloody trains. Have to commute to London everyday for work, sucks

Tubes trains will be running until midday, if you hurry you can get what you want

Former Member

There are still buses.

I'm away from London for the exact same 24hr period the strike is on though

Although it should be pointed out tube trains can go above and below ground, like onthe met or bakerloo lines that I often catch

So can the Chicago L, but the red line (which is the one that has an underground path) is still considered the subway while the rest are trains.

As does the circle line too, I was just pointing out the american/british equivalent
