Regent's Park underground station lifts and sign spelling? Need pics!
I heard a long discussion on a London talk radio station about the re-
opened Regent's Park tube station and how it went over-budget, opened late, lifts weren't working etc - the usual stuff, no surprise, that'll be Metronet. The part I'm interested in is the bit where several people said that the signs for Madame Tussauds had been spelt wrongly. Does anyone have a picture of this? I put a watch for this story on Google News since Tuesday and have looked in other sources and can't find it. Or does anyone know what the mis-spelling was? I thought it would be classic if they'd put "TwoSwords" or something. Anyway, any info appreciated. |

Probably spelt it "Tussaurds" or missed off the apostrophe that should be there (but is never used by Madame Tussauds itself, unlike Sainsbury's.) |

In message .com,
Jonathan writes I heard a long discussion on a London talk radio station about the re- opened Regent's Park tube station and how it went over-budget, opened late, lifts weren't working etc - the usual stuff, no surprise, that'll be Metronet. I saw it open again for the first time yesterday morning. Imagine my surprise yesterday evening when on my return Bakerloo train the announcement went out that it was still closed. There was some surprise among fellow passengers, too, followed by bemusement as we promptly stopped there and gained passengers. I wonder how the automated announcement came not to be updated? LUL are usually very thorough about this sort of thing in my experience. -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

A bit of a disappointment then. Still, wouldn't mind a pic, but I was expecting a little more, what with all the fuss they were making on the radio! Thanks for letting me know anway |

Thanks for letting me know anway What must be remembered is that LU supply the information regards what is required on signs etc it's there spec yes we know Metronet make lots of mistakes also re the lifts with new equipment there is always teething problems and pressure to re-open does not allow for breaking them in or should that be warranty just like a car. |
