Tube could close in future heatwaves

Indeed. I could go on about the new improved London Transport that Ken promised us would be bought with the congestion charge money, but I think he's spent it all on community policing and the damn Olympics. A lot of it's gone on the bus network, to pretty good effect. The trouble is it was a little too successful, in that it did redirect people onto public transport, which means his income dropped. That lead to the price rise and the "make it easier to pay" stuff to encourage a few more people to drive and up the income again! Talking of buses and heatwaves, I noticed on a 14 yesterday that a new air cooling unit had been installed above the stairs on the top deck - and very welcome it was too. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
