The man running the meat dept at the local HT told me the best time for markdowns is around 7 AM, if you don't mind buying stuff you need to use up quickly.

I've had several rides on 2000 series cars this year, and the grubby carpets are still comfy to walk on and make the ride feel smoother.

The Metro is one of the reasons I moved here from Philly, back when the main cars were the 2000 series with the wider, padded seats and carpeted floors.
