I have a better understanding of where the #SpanishSolution makes sense.
Through YouTube railfanning and PDF maps, I've started familiarizing myself with the #LondonUnderground network (like I've already done for Paris, Tokyo, Chicago, and more). It's inevitable that I come across the video below๐๐ป.
Dwell times explode when you're exiting onto a sardine packed platform.
*This* is where it's good to have a platform and doors open on both sides (Spanish solution).

An all time XI all of whose players share a name with a defunct London underground station and a large photo gallery.

@tubemapper yeah I'm not a fan of the architecture of those Piccadilly Line stations in general, but they do have some V intersting and unique curves. You show that off well here. ๐ #tube #london #londonunderground #londonundergroundstation #tfl #station

#TodayILearned that the #LondonUnderground deep-tube lines are actually low-floor metros.
I define low-floor as when the floor sits below the wheels even a little bit, and therefore you have to build around the wheels instead of having a fully flat floor. In the case of #London, I finally understand why the doors are laid out the way they are, with the single doors at the end.
That makes the question of how the New Tube for London will deal with this more interesting.

Yep, tiny bit jealous this mistake didn't happen with me on that train! ๐ท

So yesterday I got off at the wrong stop (Tufnell Park) but I'm so glad I did, though this a relative nothingness photo, I love the colours and retro vibe this staircase gave me. Some parts of the London Underground really show their age in lovely ways. #londonunderground #trains #london

"All the Tube and Elizabeth Line Stations" update today. Went to High Barnett and straight back to tick off nearly all the branch except Mill Hill East (Awkward own branch) and Kentish Town (Closed until 2024) but it does mean one thing. It is no longer possible to just tick off stations by merely travelling in London now. All the central London stations I'm most likely to visit are now ticked off. Here's where the hard part begins. #trains #londonunderground #london

The number of tube trains in London is more than double that of any other English city.

Been wondering what to do with these #londonunderground themed badges I bought from the Acton Depot gift shop last week. I think they go nicely on a backpack. #trains

Long #train based day today. Mother is baffled why I went to Acton depot but I enjoyed it immensely. #londonunderground
Had a wonderful day out at Acton Depot in London today. Much to see, do and talk with others about. If you get the chance to visit, do it. #londonunderground #trains
