Since moving offices from ul. Nowogrodzka to Al. Szucha in November, my
geography of Warsaw has been unsettled to a greater extent than it was
by the previous move from ul. Fabryczna to ul. Nowogrodzka. Warsaw's
geography is determined by its principle travel axes; I'm no longer on
the railway line from Jeziorki to Śródmieście or Powiśle; the Metro is
two tram stops away.
Yes, the tram now defines the way I move around
town. The 4, 10 and 35 from my office to Al. Lotników where I can change
to a 715 bus all the way home to Trombity; the 35 from my office to
Eddie's school for parents' evenings, a whole string of members arrayed
along the 14 and 35 routes, and the 18 which goes to Pl. Zamkowy before
crossing the river. Yes, trams are good.
Today's trammery - off to
Radio PiN to appear on an hour-long programme to talk about David Cameron and
Britain's strange relationship with the European Union. I catch a 35 to
Pl. Bankowy, then a 15 to Pl. Inwalidów. Afterwards a 6 to Pl. Wilsona,
and Metro home towards Ursynau.
So - photo time...
