The Commute

Oh the wonders of an hour and fifteen minute dcommute to class by public transportation. It may not sound all that bad, but to someone who's used to classes being a 5 minute walk away, it's a big adjustment. Come, track my journey w/me!

First stop, the Lawford Rd Bus Stop, a 5 minute walk around the corner from my house. Nice little bench to sit on, and frost-covered windows on winter mornings.

Through town we go, passing all sorts of neighborhoods and shops, like these. Morning traffic isn't bad, per say, but I'm constantly amazed that more people don't die in accidents from all the confusion and narrow roads.

In between streets of shops, there's the occasional greenery, which I'm looking forward to seeing in full bloom once spring comes around.


That's actually the bus I take home at night, but it was the only one that stood still long enough to photograph.
And there's my station, Turnham Green. The morning bus actually drives right past a station closer to my destination, refuses to stop, and then circles around to come back to this one. I still haven't figured out why that is.

And here's the station itself, this half devoid of commuters because nothing stops on this side, they all go right on past. Poor Turnham Green is a lonely little station - only one line loves it.

So there you have it! Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Later!
