The 21st century commuter is a tragic hero. Long-suffering,
long-journeying and subject to lengthy delays, he survives through
an iron will and by burying his head in a freesheet. Chris Moss's
Smoothly from Harrow takes its title from John Betjeman, the bard
of Metro-land, but brings the world of the London commuter up to
date with facts and fictions, poems and propaganda, statistics and
self-help advice. Did you know that John le Carre, Mrs Beeton and
Henry VIII were commuters? Did you know Waterloo station
'processes' more than 94 million passengers a year? Did you know
that you are not just a number, but a modern-day, latte-drinking
flaneur - London's key witness, greatest survivor and chief
psychogeographer? This compendium will help you get through the
dawns and dusks of your eternal, everyday, Herculean trial: to get
to work and back.
