Entrapment on TFL

So today I actually got trapped on a bus in London.

I got on the regular 38 to head to work, and somewhere along the way it apparently changed route and number*. I didn't hear the announcement because I was sat upstairs (alone) and on the phone nattering away in my own world as usual. We were stop starting at lights along the way so being stopped hadn't caught my attention, until suddenly, the lights go off, I twig that we've been stopped far too long for comfort and there is the faint sounds of coins jingling downstairs.  

Then, I'm hit with the realisation that something is not right. I look out the window and I have no idea where I am.

I panic and blurt in to the phone that I've gotta go. I fumble my earphones into my pockets, grab my bags and run downstairs. But it's too late.

There are no people, no bus driver, and the doors are locked. It's like a London bus apocalypse and I'm the soul survivor. I imagine this is exactly how Will Smith felt in I am Legend. Although I'd just done my grocery shop at Marks & Spencers so had at least enough capsicum, avocado and greek yogurt to last me until Wednesday. You may have been the Fresh Prince once upon a time, Will, but today, I'm the Fresh Food Princess.

Now, I could gather this wasn't a terminal. It was just a street side stop, slightly off the main road. There were people walking by, but no bus driver in sight. 

So, what is the first thing I do? Update my Facebook status. This is far too fucking amusing not to share. 

Then, I needed a game plan. I was going to be late to work if I didn't get off this bus so I googled TFL and called the generic hotline. I waited on hold for what felt like an eternity, but in reality wasn't even ten minutes, when I saw a man beelining for the bus.  

I realised I didn't have a clue what the bus driver looked like, but as he got closer, it had to be him. I stood back in the aisle, and waiting as he unlocked the automatic doors and stepped on. 

He didn't notice me at first, until I said 'Uh, hi. You trapped me on the bus'. You should've seen the look on his face. Mortified. 

He apologised profusely and explained that he'd just gone to get breakfast and have a pee. Fair enough really. The man's gotta eat. The man's gotta pee. We both knew he should've checked upstairs but there was no point in saying it. I was just happy to be saved. I had my freedom. That's all I could ask for. 

I questioned why we weren't in Victoria, and the part I previously failed to mention, as the driver was quick to inform, was that *the route hadn't changed, but I'd simply gotten on the wrong bus. And here I now found myself in Waterloo.

A woah woah woah woah Waterloo. Couldn't escape if I wanted to. 

Monday mornings eh?
