Diode100, Good advice! Been there, done that. The IGH cable gave me a bit of bother but otherwise fairly standard operating procedure . . . now that I carry a 15mm wrench (Portland Tool).
Good to see you're in London. That's where I saw folders being used in great numbers for the first time; folders on The Tube. Quite inspirational that! The Metro in Los Angeles is not quite so wonderful.
I do have a TAP (Transit Access Pass) now, which is like an Oyster card there.
