There appear to be 2 secret lines in South London that are about 1 mile to the east & west of the Northern Line, with trains running at several hundred miles an hour between approx Kingsway and Merton. Can anyone tell me how I can get a ride, because I am sure it would be very exciting?

There is also a secret line with 2 trains running along Watford High Street.

I saw that too. Driven by Gremlins, perhaps.

If you click on the errant trains you get strange messages, such as

"District train to Upminster [024]
(left Stamford Brook Station,
expected Kew Gardens Station in 1.5 minutes)"

I should have explained that that is on the errant trains whizzing
across the avenues of Chiswick. I haven't seen any Merton barkers.

I clicked on a train going though the back garden of Buckingham Palace,
and found it was "Metropolitan train to Circle Line Outer Rail".
No doubt the Queen's own secret transport system...

I found "Hammersmith & Circle train to Edgware Road [077]
(left High Street Kensington Station, expected Edgware Road Circle Station
in 9 minutes)" in the middle of Kensington Gardens!

The problem seems to be trains which for some reason have "lost" their
intermediate stops. And the mapping algorithm then sends these trains on
a straight line between (eg) High St Ken and Edgware Rd, instead of via
Notting Hill gate and Paddington.

I think it's Britain's secret particle accelerator in the Circle line.
Some of the particles are breaking out and annihilating buses on
uncertain routes.
