Must remember it when I get off the Tube. Quiet platform at Liverpool St – train pulls up quickly. I manage to sneak into my favourite place, standing by the glass panel at the end of the seats so I don’t have to hold on to the handrail. Makes it easier to type, less chance of catching something, and it’s quicker to get off.

Stop at St Pauls. I love those old Underground clocks. Chancery Lane, nobody really getting off. Empties a little at Holburn. Nearly my stop. Need to check my email as soon as I get outside. Arrive at Tottenham Court Rd and walk through the crowds on autopilot, typing as I go…

It’s half empty, probably because of the last 2 days of strikes. Beautiful day today as we fly through the Essex countryside. Woman puts on her makeup with a Metro on her knee.

Catch up on with email and Twitter. Zone out until I notice the sunny countryside views outside. Post a pic on Twitter. Hardly notice that we’ve stopped at Chelmsford. The train fills up now and the makeup woman gets off. Still plenty of seats. I must admit I prefer to stand. I used to hate it and once considered bringing a fold up stool with me on my commute. I never did though.
