Nothing for sure on the website; can't get through on the phone...

Anyone know anything definite?

There was a sign up in Oxford Circus tube station today saying that industrial action was planned starting tomorrow or late tonight.

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

I live by Angel tube stop. Yesterday (Sunday) there was a sign warning that the station would be closed for the strike. But this morning (Monday), the station was open as normal. Only a handful of stations in London are closed today. Thankfully, it was a pretty pathetic strike.

Well, living along the infamous Northern Line and that being the only reported 'Severe Delays', I opted not to chance it and got a ride in at 7AM with a friend. ::)
But the major stations along my route were also reported closed at the time (Euston, Tottenham Ct. Road)... whether that's true or not, I don't know.
