Wonder how LU would flag that one up on the service status boards! From the clips shown on 'BBC Breakfast' this AM, the "dilemma" is whether to tryu to rescue the passengers stuck in the rapidly-filling tunnel, or to close, "the watertight doors." Question is, is it still possible to do that?! |

Flood gates still exist on the LUL South Ken to Sloane Square being one place Yeah, sure, but take a look them and you see that most/all clearly haven't been moved for decades. The ones in the cross-passageways at Leicester Square got tiled over lat last year. There are the 1939/40-vintage ones at the ends of the Northern & Bakerloo platforms at Waterloo, but are they actually still capable of being closed? Hence my question: "is it _still_ possible to do that?!" -- Nick Cooper [Carefully remove the detonators from my e-mail address to reply!] The London Underground at War: http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...ra/lu/tuaw.htm 625-Online - classic British television: http://www.625.org.uk 'Things to Come' - An Incomplete Classic: http://www.thingstocome.org.uk |
