Northern Line, heading into the City, morning
If/when the line goes down and all passengers have to use busses, find the nearest bus stop. This will be the one with a gaggle of unhappy people at it, trying to squeeze their way into the next oncoming bus.
Then, walk AGAINST the flow of automobile traffic to find the next available bus stop BEFORE the one with the huge gathering of people.
This way one can get on a bus BEFORE the bus hits the stop nearest the tube station that has the impacted service.
Well worth the extra few minutes’ walk :o)
