Hi all,

I can't remember if this has been mentioned, but anyone concerned about the
endless tide of humanity plummeting head first off the roof of Arnos Grove
can be happy in the knowledge that the flow has been stemmed, thanks to LU
putting railings all around the edge. Fortunately, the station's beauty can
still be enjoyed in the many old pictures of it which exist.

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

Vandals! It's a listed building! Did they obtain planning permission?

Similarly, I noticed some railings on the roof of Boston Manor station,
but I've no
idea how long they've been there.

OH NO. I've just realised it's only a matter time until they do Southgate.
Those magical moments of my childhood will be gone forever. Can't someone
stop them?

They're only there temporarily to protect the workmen whilst the station
is refurbished. Sudbury Town has them too.

No chance of the Sudbury Town refurb reinstating the original neon signage
unfortunately :-(

Not sure that's true.
Bounds Green has had similar scaffold pole type railings added to the roof
and they have remained long (many months) after the painting work was
finished.
