that's rather clever.

I shall have to print some copies off at work and see if anyone notices
the difference :-)


It just shows how cispontine our underground system is (speaking as
someone from north of the river).

But the reason for this is not some anti-sarf London bias by London
underground companies but because the geology makes it very difficult
to build tunnels there.

Almost made no difference to the Silverlink Metro - still starts at (almost)
Silvertown and goes East.

And the main line companies wanted to keep it for themselves.

The way i heard it, Southern's suburban rail services were so good that LT
didn't feel that south London needed tubes as well - the north presumably
had crappy rail services. A similar mechanism might also explain the lack
of tubes in Hackney, although there, i prefer to think it's blatant bias
by westerners against the oppressed masses of that borough.

Was there not some sort of Truce between LT and the Southern after
various proposals were put foward . Called the Morden Agreement.
Southern dropped objection of Northern Line to Morden providing it
stopped there and LT gave up pre WW1 ideas of getting District trains
to what now seem unlikely destinations over what had become Southern
tracks .Sutton ? Leatherhead?
Have to go digging amongst some books now .

Somehow I feel that Sydenham Hill doesnt have the same ring as Mornington
Crescent.

In fact the same is true of the other end of the Silverlink Metro - both the
start and end points are nearly where they already are right now, more or
less.

And the first stops away from each end are exactly where they are now.

Big thanks to Grebbsy for bringing this to our attention!

WOW! So many stops in my area!

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to help my journey to work in Docklands!

Someone had too much time on their hands, but I take my hat off to them
nevertheless.
