drink drive London trains etc

No NO NO.

Licensed mini cabs are your best option. Never get in a moody cab.
?

I know, but when you've had a skin full and the last train is leaving in 15 mins, you tend to go against better judgement. Obviously not being a bird, my personal safety rarely comes into it on a night out.

There was a plan to open the tube later (and start later the next day) on Friday and Saturday nights - did this happens?

Hope so. Not been in central london for over a year so I can't say.

We're stuck with the faqqers.

Nothing to do with me, squire!

Nope.

Due to the way the tube was privatised and the large amount of maintenance needed it was found not to be a viable option at the moment. Even though they managed to get the unions on side. Instead they have made more buses run for 24 hours which is good unless you live on the outskirts of London or go out the other side of London from where you live.

I hate black cab drivers.....where ever you live in London unless it's less than 7 miles away they won't take you home at night. And they fought to stop other cab companies who would take you home being licensed ....

So you have to get the black cabs to take you to a 24 hour taxi shop 6.9 miles away? Sounds like a plan B to provide info where these taxi shops are.

There are these great inventions called train timetables. They're quite recent I think... you can look up (in advance!) what times the trains depart and arrive. I think you can even see them on that internet thing.

HTH

Good point Mr Robin.

Also, I hear that there are other great innovations called 'hotels' which are a bit like being at home without actually having to go there.

We truly live in an age of marvels!
