Despite being a minute late leaving Paddington, my Bakerloo Line tube last night arrived at Waterloo a minute early, so I managed to catch my train. That was a minute late, but only outside of TfL's sphere of influence, so it doesn't count.
The train in from Hersham to Waterloo this morning was on time, but the connecting tube to Paddington a different story. I ended up waiting for nearly 15 minutes on a hot and overcrowded platform owing to, if I understod the announcements correctly, both an earlier signal failure and a defective train. In the end, this delayed my journey by 16 minutes for £40. Plus another £5 for the Paddington penalty.
Finally, I also realized I forgot the two-minute Paddington penalty in yesterday's calculations. Another £5, bringing the total to 20 minutes at £50.
We haven't had one in a while, so here's my current Tube Bingo card for the week.
