Letter: Jinx strikes the Misery Line
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: At 6.25pm on 6 January I was reading my copy of The Independent on the northbound platform of Angel tube station in London, waiting for my train home.
When it pulled in and I boarded, I continued reading ... the article on the London Underground Northern Line, with its "cranky carriages" grinding to a halt in pitch-black tunnels.
As we pulled out of Highgate station at 6.55, and I finished reading the article ... we came to an abrupt halt. One hour later, at 7.55, we finally crawled into East Finchley station (the next stop!) with a garbled message of apology blaming signal problems.
Might I suggest that you warn us next time you publish an article critical of London Underground?
