Am I right in thinking it would be cheaper for me to go from Mile End (where I'm located" to Westminster then back along the Jubilee line to North Greenwich, than going to Stratford in zone 3, given the former would only be in zones 1 and 2

If you've got Oyster, isn't it only about a 50p difference between a Zones 1-2 and a Zones 1-3 travelcard on a Saturday anyway?

What's the Jubilee line like at weekends these days?

Stupidly i didn't book standing tickets when they went on sale for two reasons 1: I was about to be made redundant and 2: I thought "Nah, standing won't sell out that quick!" Silly me.

Just braved looking at ebay for the first time and the prices aren't too crazy.

Got my tix in the mail yesterday. I'm shocked that they didn't jack up sending them to the US.


What do you think about Rihanna as a special guest to bust out Umbrella?

It's not in the singles collection but I could see the manics wanting to do this and she is practically living at the o2.

Would kinda defeat the point of the cover if she was singing it? I also doubt she'd do it, she probably hasn't heard of them.

I bought them through the Manics site (which I think links to seetickets) and I don't think mine have arrived yet. I checked the tracker thing on their site today and it said they haven't sent them out yet.
