Tube

英國的地鐵真的非常爛，總是delay或是under construction，每每造成我們作任何事情都很麻煩，但是每天還是得面對這一切，因為我們要趕快找到新房子才行。

地鐵的地圖隨手可得，總共有11條地鐵線，妹妹住處是在Jubilee Line的Canada Water和East London line的Surrey Quays交界，地鐵都很舊，常常要一修再修，尤其有些地鐵沒有冷氣只有暖氣，真的很不貼心，所有人在rush hour的時候都很痛苦，尤其外面天氣非常熱的時候。

聽說由於2012年Olympic要在Wimbley Park舉行，所以英國政府已經決定要加裝冷氣設備，讓觀光客享有高級的感受。

地鐵站內的廣播對我來說是很新鮮的，當Tram進站的時候，廣播會說"Mind the gap, Mind the gap."，這時候就會發現，地鐵與月台真的有很大的縫隙存在，這可不是開玩笑的。

由於同一個軌道上會有不同路的列車行駛，常常我都搞不清楚要坐上哪一列車才是正確的，Webby就教我看車內的拉環顏色，這就代表著不同line的地鐵，我想英國人比較直接，什麼線用什麼顏色，也沒想太多吧!

The tube here is really sucks. It always delayed and under construction. It caused a serious trouble on the day we met Yvonne which really pissed me up. However, I still have to combat against it before we find a new home.

The tube map is free and easy to get in every tube station. There are 11 lines of the underground. My sister's place is located between Canada Water on Jubilee line and the Surrey Quays on East London line. The tubes are old and need to be restored time to time. There is no air conditioner but the heater.Therefore, it is a torture to everyone during the rush hour or under the hot weather.

Since the Olympic 1012 will be held in Wimbley Park, the government decided to build air conditioners in certain tube lines for the convenience of the visitors.The broadcast in the tube is new to me. When the tram coming, the broadcaster will say, "Mind the gap, Mind the gap." By the time, you will definitely be aware of the big gap between the tram and the platform. It is such a big gap that you'll never neglect.

I can't recognize the tram in the beginning. Webby taught me an easy way to find out the right one-the colour of the handrail represents the line of the tube. I think people often use more directly way to express what they thought and so do those builders.
