Jane Lanyero, a 22-year-old from Uganda, had to leave the country when she and other students at her university started writing newsletters blaming the government for atrocities. Lanyero arrived in London and was supposed to go to a bed and breakfast, but quickly found herself stymied by the train. "You're told to follow the Circle Line, then change to the Metropolitan Line, then change to this line, when you get to this station, you can change to that platform," Lanyero said. "You go up, you come down, you come out.... It took me four hours to get from the mainline trains into the Underground station."
