Heathrow Express slashes fares (so it says!)

In Hampstead is on a steep hill and the station platforms are the deepest on the London Underground network, at 58.5 metres (192 ft) below ground level. It has the deepest lift shaft on the Underground at 55 metres (180 ft) which houses high-speed lifts. Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead_tube_station Indeed, but if the earlier poster was having difficulty breathing due to depth, it could be attributed to air pressure, which is a factor of sea-level, not depth from the surface. However as the effect is less than 1% at such depths, perhaps it's claustrophobia or air pollution that's really the issue. In which case the tube lines are more prone to those than the DLR. But I wonder what it is peculiar to the Piccadilly that affects Basil in that way ? He says it is the deepness of it but it isn’t really that different from the other London tube Lines (using tube in the old way to describe the smaller loading gauge routes). Perhaps it is the only one he uses , or enters by one of the few remaining lifts entries which seem to emphasise a trip towards the underworld. Basil,have you ever taken a journey on the Glasgow Subway? If you have did you find that claustrophobic at all with it loading gauge even smaller than London tubes. GH |
