0:00.0 | This is a download from LBC, Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra. |
0:06.2 | Morning everybody, nice to every company. |
0:07.7 | Welcome to Tuesday, the 8th of August. |
0:10.0 | As I said on the programme earlier on, all this fuss about Waterloo Station. |
0:14.4 | No trouble at all getting a train back. |
0:16.5 | In fact, it was practically me and some dust balls rolling down the platform. It was really, |
0:22.1 | really quiet. The train I was on was really, really quiet. I thought as we pull into, |
0:26.7 | on my route, Vauxhall, Clapham Junction, Putney, Barnes, blah, blah, blah. I thought there'd |
0:33.5 | be people queuing on the platform. Nobody! Clapham Junction, one person got on. One person. |
