Err no there isn't

Perhaps the Evening Standard were lying as well, then?

Would this be the same Evening standard which showed a
picture of a perfectly safe Victoria line power rail

That'll be the one held in place with a bit of wood and
bent nails, will it?

and then insisted that not only
was it dangerous and a bodge,

Which it was.

So much so that it had been in use for 20 odd years.

but also that train wheels ran over it
and that it carried the weight of the train?

Which it wasn't, of course.

I'd guess that they were lying.

Given the choice between believing TfL and the E.S., I'll
take
the E.S. *every* time.

Really?
