Underline?

I've not seen, however, anything like this. The problem with a Holborn-Aldwych cycle route is that unless the Holborn end is for Piccadilly Line passengers, the round trip surface-tube-surface will take longer than walking. And don't let us forget one the main reasons Aldwych closed was it was too expensive to repair the lifts. Finally, what about the tidal flow of Boris-bikes - what tooth fairy is going to be shuttling them back to the other end so that more than a couple of dozen people can use the route each morning or evening? FWIW there are tooth fairies that do an amount of Boris Bike redistribution: https://www.flickr.com/photos/twic/4887369973 I'm not going to pass comment on how this would apply to a subterranean Holborn-Aldwych cycle route because that would involve taking the idea seriously! |
