What does it take to be a Transport Correspondent?

It would be fascinating to know what actually happened, but no danger of that from reading the Standard, which yet again gas been found to be journalistically very sub-Standard. A follow up tonight from Dick Murray in the "Evening Standard", regarding a broken power shoe that disabled a Jubilee line train just short of Stanmore. Actually, a much better written article than last week's - although he still managed to refer back to the incident mentioned in the earlier article and repeated the assertion that "a signal box" fell off the train! I don't think most lay people would remotely have a problem with the "signal box" description - it's a box that contains signalling kit, innit. "Signalling boxes" in the conventional sense, such as they exist on the Underground, aren't on the whole very visible to the travelling public on the network. (Ignoring what might actually now be inside them) Wembley Park ? Edgware Road ? |

Anyway I like the one at Barbican: http://www.flickr.com/photos/crashcalloway/3320694222/ |
