has the world gone topsy turvy?

i don't believe it!! in the three and a half years i lived in london the one thing that could be relied upon was that the service provided by the northern line would be crap and certainly the worst by far of all the tube lines. i used to have to take the thing twice a day and it was a truly dreadful service. i had to put up with it being hit by strike, being delayed by 'signal failures' more often than you could poke a stick at, having extended closures, trains terminating unexpectedly and even a derailment. it was usually referred to in the media as the 'misery line'.

now i see that it is one of only two lines not hit by suspensions! what's the world coming to?? how typical that it suddenly becomes reliable once i leave. hmmmph!
