The TfL website described 7/7 as the worst day in the

memory does not go back as far as WW11 and various events at
Bank, Balham and Bethnal Green? (Though it would be bad taste to
play a cynical numbers game re.victims.)


Worse peace time day I think you'll find.


The actual words are "This is the worst incident in the history of
London underground".


Is that "London underground" what has become the system or "London
Underground Limited"?


I copied it exactly as it appeared in the "Notes for editors" at the
bottom of at least two press releases. I guess the lower-case 'u' was
just a typo.
