The last time I was at FP (a couple of years ago),
the balloon murals were on the Piccadilly line platforms,
and the duelling pistols were on the Victoria Line platforms.

AIUI The balloon murals precede the Victoria Line

I can't disprove that, but they look significantly more modern than the
Victoria Line. Maybe the current murals are 1980s replacements of earlier
murals which were on the (then) Picc platforms... but I can not recall any
murals on the (current) Picc platforms in the 1970s.

Incidentally, which Jubbly station is portrayed at the bottom of this
page.... is it the new Wembley Park?

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


Looks like Canary Wharf going from Jubilee into Cabot Square shopping
complex (passing alongside Citibank)

The white wall opposite is now a (in my view rather wonderful) mural of
brightly coloured rectangles. I saw them doing it - sticking the pieces on
the wall rather carefully.

Know it quite well from passing that way to and from work quite a lot (on
the way to Bene Bene to get a coffee in the morning)

D'oh. I knew I had a proper reference somewhere - I have a copy of the
LT golden jubilee book with the original poster in...

- Oxford Circus - snakes and ladders. I heard that this is supposed to
signify the confusion one encounters when changing from line to line here
(since there are three lines that intersect here).

This is only since the refurbishment; after a fire I seem to remember.
It used to have three suitably coloured lines in roughly the right
direction, passing through a circle, representing the three lines
serving the station.

There were red-orange dots in a horizontal line, and alternating brown
and blue dots in a vertical line.

The circle doesn't only indicate the station - a "circus" was a circular
road junction, as at Oxford Circus, Cambridge Circus, and others.

They have made a mistake at Finsbury Park; they have a mural of a hot-air
balloon there. IIRC the first hot-air balloon in Britain took off from
Finsbury Fields.
