Wrong Way on the Underground: Going South, Not North

Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you.

Not at all, love. Are you alright?

Does this train go to Camden Town?

Camden? Oh dear... I'm afraid not.

This is the Victoria line, and we're going south.

South? But I need to go north!

Oh no. My friends are waiting for me at six.

And my phone's nearly dead, so I can't check the route.

Okay, don't panic. It's an easy mistake to make.

Ha, even Londoners do it sometimes!

The next stop is Green Park. I'm getting off there too.

Oh, that's really kind of you. Thank you!

Right. We need the Victoria line again, but northbound.

So I just go back the way I came?

Exactly. Stay on until Euston. That's three stops.

Okay, Euston, three stops. Got it!

And then? Is Camden close to Euston?

Very close, but you'll need to change to the Northern line.

Any northbound train will do. It's just two stops.

Um, sorry... which colour is the Northern line?

Black. You can't miss it!

Here's your train. Mind the gap!

Thank you so much! You've saved my evening!

Have fun in Camden! Try the food at the market!

I will! And next time, I'll check the direction first.

Ha! Good idea. Off you go, love!
