Daily Telegraph: 150 fascinating Tube facts

In fact, of course, it was closed in 1994, during the Major administration. Is Bob becoming a closet Tory? Possibly depends on the meaning of "shut"? I thought services stopped running in 1994 but that it was not until 1998, when Glenda Jackson was the junior Minister with responsibility for transport in London, that the line was sold. Ah, that explains it. But it had been formally closed before then, hadn't it? I wonder if urban sprawl would ever see the EOR operate any sort of regular service or if TfL would ever consider taking over that section once again. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
