BBC "Underground Ernie"
I've finally managed to see an episode of this. (I'm researching some
stuff to do with Camden Town from home today, so felt that this would qualify as Continuing professional Development). It's a *lot* of fun. I certainly have a soft spot for "Bakerloo"! Oh well, back to writing about the tomb of Sir John Soane....... :-( -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

Putting Mr Rails in charge of the signalling computer and all the trains going to the wrong place was most amusing. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
