A lot of site

Old photos of Euston

In the late 90s. When the economy was fine. Hence the marble-style
platforms.

Late 80s.

Health and safety restrictions.

ARGH! Do they not do any passenger *inconvenience assessment* before
doing stupid stuff like that?

London Underground 'best metro in Europe'

Hammersmith-Acton Town was always fun for that reason!

Heh, each time I'm in the train passing through that section I feel
like a tiny bit more and the train will JUMP away from the track :-)

London Underground 'best metro in Europe'

If they were to rate architecture and general impressiveness of
appearance - then Moscow Metro would probably win. But as a transport
service it certainly lags behind.

Good to see the piccadilly line is as **** as ever

South London is where the monsters live. Why would you want to be

Jubilee Line reliability

Well the line is running at maximum capacity...I think.

It did not stop it from working quite well before. Well, the Jubilee
definition of "quite well" - but still much better then last 2-3 weeks.

Somewhat shocking that Demon, the progenitor of UK internet access,

IE has never been compliant since the day it was launched so no prizes

it would be interchange with National Rail) - Battersea Power Station

Wood Lane station

Not quite - the split would increase the number of people changing at
Camden Town, and the station can't handle that. Splitting the line thus
involves rebuilding Camden Town.

Wood Lane station

TfL have stopped making noises about it. They seem to have decided
they're happy with the status quo. From what I hear the plan to reuse
Victoria Line stock is definitely dead.

Crap :-(

I thought that TfL Journey Planner has built-in bias towards directing
passengers to TfL's own services? (and not National Rail)
