TfL closed tube station lifts more than 500 times last year, despite being in working order, because there were no โ€œtrained staffโ€ available in case they broke down.

The worst-affected station was Wimbledon Park, according to an . Last year it was shut on 84 occasions.

What are your favourite Tube stations that are worth a visit? I'm tempted to go on a bit of a tour with my camera. So far, my favourites that I've visited are: Cockfosters, Baker St, Earl's Court, Canary Wharf, Battersea Power, Arsenal, Clapham Common, Great Portland Street, Turnpike Lane.

Some on my list include Uxbridge, and Gants Hill. Any others that are worth going to, to take photos and look at Tube architecture?

Got my copy of Next Station London this week. Won this in a giveaway from @themeeple_among_people and @blueorangegames.

That is TWO London games in the past few weeks. I think the universe is telling me it's time for a trip on the real Underground in the UK!

London The Board Game is a roll & move game about traveling London's Underground seeing the sites.

The game uses a map of the actual Underground subway system in London! I enjoyed reading about all the sights (Picadilly Circus, Baker St, Scotland Yard, etc) that I've heard about for years on TV (we watch a LOT of BBC shows!) and seeing where they are in relation to eachother.

The game does a fantastic job of making you want to go there and see the sights in person!

Commuters took part in the annual 'No Trousers Tube Ride' on the London Underground, braving the chilly winter weather to ride on public transport in their underwear.

The annual event, which was launched in New York in 2002 and first came to the British capital in 2009, had been postponed since 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The person who designed the new terminal at Whitechapel was a Trekkie right..?

Put my TrainTrackr London Tube tracker in a frame and up on the wall, and it's officially the coolest thing I own. A bit of a bugger to photograph behind glass though. (also they appear to have a Black Friday sale on if you want one) traintrackr.co.uk

I find this stuff really interesting, it's fascinating how much old Underground stuff is still here, just abandoned and out of sight. I'll have to do one of the Hidden London tours one day.
