Incidentally, TfL (LO or LU)would probably do a better job of looking
after the Moorgate tunnels:

This needs its own thread!


The haze that can be seen in tunnels via train headlights on many tube
lines would probably be called a serious smog incident if it was above
ground. I'm pretty sure that mixture of brake dust and general ****e
cannot be good for the lungs.


Do they still run the tunnel cleaning train and if so how often? Is
the haze worse than when the cleaning was done manually?


The tunnel cleaning train never did the GNCR.
