The Subterranean Railway
by Christian Wolmar
351pp, Atlantic, £17.99
Saturday January 8, 2005
http://books.guardian.co.uk/reviews/...385492,00.html
[snip]
Wolmar's book will tell you, too, why the
Underground, like black cabs, barely ventures south of the river.

Do tell us. We have been wondering!

You'll have to buy the book (it's not explained in the review). BTW it seems
a pity that presumably the book wasn't available before the recent
present-giving deadline...

It was available, I saw it in the Metro (November time) on the
Underground/TfL page and my wife ordered it from Amazon to arrive in
time for Christmas. It is a very good read and does suggest reasons for
the lack of tube south of the Thames.
