A Much Better Saturday

Just for the record I’m at home and perfectly ok this evening. I thought I’d better dash off a quick blog entry, in case you assumed I had done something stupid and ended up in hospital for the second Saturday running. Instead, today was a nice, quiet day trundling up to Stratford and then heading into central london on the Elisabeth Line. I was curious to see how easy it was to get from the Olympic Park into town, and while I needed to ask for a ramp to get onto the train at Stratford, the journey took less than ten minutes. When you remember that Stratford was once such a remote, neglected area of the city, it really is staggering. The same can be said for Woolwich. The metropolis really is shrinking as the incredible labyrinth of tunnels beneath it grows. Not only that, but even it’s most downtrodden corners are undergoing massive regeneration projects. To be honest, it makes me worry that other parts of the country outside the capital aren’t getting the same investment.
