Heaving rush down to Bakerloo Line. Decide to get bus to Euston and Northern Line to Old Street, then walk. Queue at ticket office for 5 minutes to get waiver ticket for tube at Euston and ask if I can use my ticket on the bus. LU attendant checks and tells me Metropolitan Line is actually back on, next train leaves in 3 minutes. 9.40 rush down to Metropolitan Line along with everyone else.
Crowd piles onto train.
Arrive Moorgate 10.05am. They have been out of order since yesterday evening and all day today. Perhaps they are not going to bother until after the strike. Not that a strike makes much difference on the metropolitan line as there has been something wrong consistently since January.
