Amazingly the FT has a slide show with audio on the ELL:

Unfortunately "FT.com articles are only available to registered users and
subscribers." but you can register free for 30 days.


The FT site might be checking the referrer (i.e. the webpage from
whence you've followed a link) - this might be the problem, e.g. if
there is no referrer (i.e. if you're going straight there via the link
from your newsgroup client). I had no problem when I accessed it from
Google Groups - I'm wondering if the FT is happy to allow access (at
least to a few articles, for a limited period) if the referrer is from
agoogle.com /google.co.uk domain.

Try clicking through the FT link in eastender's original post on
Google Groups he

That worked, many thanks, and that was an interesting slide show.

I have no doubt that the project is great, but I don;t necessarily know
how exactly it is "revolutionary," as the slide show side.

The slide show was also incorrect in that it said that the Dalston
Junction-Highbury & Islington extension would be opened by January 2011.
IIRC on this group, however, it is due to open in May 2011.
