We had a meeting at the end of the day. It went on until 1900... but that's the way it is at Starfleet occasionally. This was a quarterly meeting, but to be fair it was quite interesting. The Gorse Fox headed across the river to Embankment arriving just in time to find that trains were temporarily suspended due to "passenger action" at Temple. This was not the end to the day's travel that had been planned. Eventually, just as GF was about to execute Plan B the announcement came that the trains were back on the move, but the first train was being taken out of service.
GF let several trains go by - it would be unseemly for a man of his demeanour and dignity to be seen forcing his way onto a crowded train.
Boarding a quiet train GF headed for Earls Court where he changed for Olympia and then wandered along to the hotel. It was too late to go back out for a meal so he settled for room service. Unlike the Marriott, the Hilton had BT Openzone which meant GF had decent internet access.
