John, are you seriously suggesting we plan transport infrastructure
around terrorism? Have you been completely taken in by what the
government's told you in the papers?


Hear hear Tom, well said.


Okay, that way a gas leak at a single station causes minimal disruption, and
a fire at a single station causes minimal disruption etc etc etc.


Terrorism itself is not something to plan around, but in the IRA's
heyday it only took a phone call to close a London terminal - can you
imagine how keen people would be to close a London Central?
