I like to think of the Elizabeth line heralding the post Covid era. People can work from home, but if they commute is made less traumatic (more word for the collective noun for commuters is a 'plight of commuters') then there'll be less pain in going in.

For myself the Central Line is loud, noisy, very hot, crowded, the tracks are bad rocking wildly. I don't think we'll get back to days of standing on the platform waiting for several trains to pass by before being able to get on to the train.

Tube noise is deafening, I seem to be the only person sticking my fingers in my ears, a silent protest.
