Whatever happened to Outrage Bus?
In a rage one day, forgot the password.
One ticket for the outrage bus, please…
I’m outrageously outraged at the outrageousness of this outrage!

I sense your outragefulness.
Well, against that kind of outrage I am furious…

That;s not politically correct these days.

What a startlingly contented lot you are. I’m currently outraged by religion, politics, shoddy expensive products, TV news, advertising, and most of all by lawyers.

Probably need a You Know What Grinds My Gears, or Minor Gripes thread.
London’s Circle Line used to be, as the name suggests, a closed loop. To get from one Circle Line station to another, you’d get on the clockwise or anticlockwise service, whichever was going to get there quicker. There were no
In 2009, they instead changed it so that it has a terminus at Edgware Rd. From there it travels anticlockwise, does one loop back to Edgware Rd, then connects to the Hammersmith and City line and terminates at Hammersmith.
My complain is threefold.
a) it complicates what was previously a simple announcement and signing scheme. The trains were either clockwise or anticlockwise, now it has to be “Hammersmith via High St Kensington” or some bullshit.
b) You can’t catch the Circle Line straight from, for instance, Gloucester Road to Baker St, any more, even though they are both on the Circle Line, 6 stops apart. You can do it by taking the Circle Line the wrong way, ie anticlockwise, which is a 20-something station journey. Or you can catch the Circle Line clockwise to Edgware Rd and disembark then wait for the other kind of Circle Line train to take you the rest of the journey. Or various other two-line combinations.
c) Don’t get me started about Paddington. At least at Edgware Rd you’re doing an in-station transfer. There are two stations called Paddington on the Circle Line but the maps signage don’t indicate this because Transport for London wants to maintain the pretence it is one station, but they are quite self-contained, not connected to each other, and you can only get between them via a half-km trundle through London Paddington Railway Station concourse.
If you’re at the northern Paddington station (Bishops Bridge Road), you can either catch a weatbound train to Hammersmith, or an Eastbound train to Edgware Rd, hilariously announced as Edgware Rd toward Edgware Rd via Aldgate.
If you’re at the southern Paddington station (Praed Rd) you can take the westbound trains which puts you on the loop, anticlockwise, but which is announced as Hammersmith via Tower Hill, or the eastbound which terminates at Edgware Rd.
Also it just seems less elegant.
They used to be a proper country.
