“Where are we?” my fella asked when our train got stuck in a tunnel this week on our way to work on the tube.We were deep, deep underground in a mess of tracks, wires and heat, buried beneath crumbling sewers, the remains of dead rats, sitting in a lifeless carriage breathing in other people’s dust, hair, snot, fear.
“Just outside of Kings Cross,” I replied.
Absolutely terrifying.
ReplyDeleteGlad you weren't alone.
That picture looks like the old Angel station. A single narrow platform with the north & south bound tracks on either side. Now that was terrifying, especially if it got crowded.
ReplyDeleteOoooh now I hope you didn't have to get out of the train and walk along the tunnel, then get confronted by psychopathic monsters...there was a film recently about that - "Creep". Not that good but pretty unnerving...
ReplyDeleteNo, we were only stuck for a couple of minutes. Glad you liked the tale though.
