“The jubilee line is the only line that connects to all others” Bakerloo, Central, and Northern: am I a joke to you?

@TransportzOlkiem Ай бұрын

Bakerloo-Baker St and Waterloo, Central-Bond St and Stratford, Northern-Waterloo and London Bridge

He means that those lines connect to every single other one, and that those 3 lines were just ignored

I know you meant that the Waterloo and City Line is the only line that is always under ground level, but they do see the light of day

You can actually see a small amount of daylight from the boarding platform on the Waterloo & City Line at Waterloo, in the vicinity of the depot, where it's usual to see a train waiting to enter the platform, having moved there to reverse from the alighting side.

I'm from a beautiful little village and community on the Shropshire/Powys border. I had to go to London for some work based training..never been happier to get back to civilisation. So grateful that my home is still pretty much as it was 70 years ago! The underground was hellish, people have no manners, it's like jumping on a slum train in the third world. Are we supposed to pretend that it's normal that 90% of the passengers don't or dont feel the need to speak English? I probably had one other native Brit on my carriage and she was a drunk as a skunk Brummie saying she was on a 'Leo Sayer' (all dayer).. absoluty hideous.

I don’t how often the tube gets a clean but in some places it’s not very pleasant. The Elizabeth line is a step forward with the platforms being gated as it were, it could reduce the amount of dust being absorbed by the passengers. I know every station is unique and it would be very difficult to make every station like that but it might be a good place to start. Also there’s a good number of stations that are outside as it were so they are probably not so badly affected.

@ianmcclavin Ай бұрын

I changed trains recently from the Victoria Line to the Overground at Blackhorse Road. The latter is in the open air, so no problem there, but I noticed the Victoria Line platforms there being a lot hotter there than they were in the 70's and 80's.

No it isn't. The nearest station to West Ham United 's old Boleyn Ground used to be Upton Park, two stations away from West Ham, and the current nearest station to their present ground, the former Olympic Stadium, is Stratford.

Also, the Arsenal station is NOT named after the football club - It's named after the Arsenal Munitions factory at Woolwich. That's why the team's nickname is The Gunners.

@UrbanStories 15 күн бұрын

That's Woolwich Arsenal. The actual Arsenal Station on Piccadilly line was renamed specifically after the club moved to that area.
