Tube and train commuters caught on camera
By Matt Cooke
Reporter, BBC London

There are over 12 thousand CCTV cameras on the London Underground
system, monitoring the movements of millions of passengers every
single day.

But some commuters are also doing their own electronic reconnaissance.


I'm glad the BBC are emphasizing that this only applies to commuters.

Those of us just passing through as normal passengers should be safe...

No one is safe. These images could obviously be of use to
terrorists. Where is MI5?

I'm doing a photography project on an old railway line. I want to add a modern twist to it but not sure how and cannot thing of a name.

For the underground, you want MI6. they apparently have a connection
from a tube station to Century House.

You won't have much success at Century House these days, as it's now a block
of luxury flats.
