Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'

The London Underground is described as a tube because the deep level trains run through a 12ft od pipe into which the train has been designed to fit using as much of the space as possible. The Met and the District run in shallow "cut and cover" (mostly) tunnels with the two roads side by side. I suspect the Stockholm and others bear more resemblance to the latter that to the tube railways proper. Some or most of the Stockholm system was created by blasting tunnels through solid rock, and the running tunnels and platform tunnels have largely been left as bare rock. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |
