When I came out to Brunel (from New Barnet) for my job interview, I decided to take the Piccadilly line back to Arnos Grove, where I normally caught a bus back home when I worked at UCL. It was ...interesting. I think it was over two hours, not including the walk from Brunel to Uxbridge (~20 minutes) or the bus from Arnos Grove to home... Until I found a place in Uxbridge I travelled on buses, via Mill Hill Bwy to Harrow, where I could use my Z56 Travelcard to get to UXB (as well as all buses each end). Then there was the ignorant bus driver on the 326 at Totteridge and Whetstone one night who didn't realise any Travelcard allowed travel on any bus (his was Z4 at that stage) -- angry letters followed. Interestingly, in the month or so that I travelled that route I had three buses die under me, two on the Mill Hill-Totteridge section, and one at my stop at Longmore Ave (well, it didn't move off after I'd alighted). -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.
