Moscow Metro vs. London Underground
In message , Tristan Miller
writes I just got back from a trip to Moscow. I made extensive use of the Metro there and thought I'd post my observations on how it compares with the London Underground. Thanks for those observations. It's some years since I last went there, but that's roughly how I remember it. Many of the stations were really interesting to look at, the only problem being how to find a place to stand gawping around without being pushed over in the rush of people going past. One thing you didn't mention: all the escalators run at least 50% faster than the ones on the London underground, which is much more efficient, but the speed didn't seem to cause anyone any trouble. Now that more London stations are equipped with lifts that the elderly or disabled can use as an alternative, I think there's a case for speeding some of ours up as well. -- Clive Page |
