Had to go on an unfamiliar route yesterday. I had mapped it all out based on TfL’s guide.  Got there in good time. On the return trip I was quite confident and stood patiently on the platform. It was one of those platforms where trains on different routes pass through. I thought I was paying attention and as soon as the train arrived, I hopped in. Something kept nagging me to check the stops as we went along to be sure but of course, I got carried away with catching up on emails, what’s app etc. After about 15 minutes, I realised I was on the overground train and not the underground as intended.

Turns out, it was even a better route home and there was air conditioning! Was quite sad when I had to reconnect to the central line to complete my journey home.

Following day, I’m on my way back to work on the same route and the overground route is now my preferred option. Thank God for mistakes!
