The boastful "Investing in the Tube" posters still displayed on the W&C
ysterday still claim "all signals replaced".


That means they changed the bulbs, right?

The addition of CCTV of course is welcome but on a small line with
mostly high flyers using the service. I can't see crime being a huge
issue on the W&C.


I suspect the total amount stolen on the line since 1898 is less than the
cost of the CCTV... and the limited opening hours must pretty much preclude
any violence too.

Snip

Depends which way you go at what time.

I go Bank - Waterloo in the mornings against the flow - and we (usually)
have plenty of room and seats to chose from. You do have to watch out
for the (sometimes quite big) piles of news papers on the floor (and
getting stuck in the doors) and you normally have to open the windows
(Since people are still to scared to open windows for some odd reason) -
They all pour off at bank hot and smelly on a nice warm day, you get on
and wonder why all the windows are closed.

Its a shame there is no 'CD'/'RA' down there - Every once in a while I
get blocked by the rush of people getting off only to get to a door that
closes in my face. Since the drivers still play ping pong there, soon as
the back desk is closed the front one is opened and its down to the
driver how long he wants to give people to get off/on.

Grr
