    Highgate station fire

    I don't know if they're in both tunnels, certainly in one. Even if one of the tunnels was able to be opened, I can't see LU opening it for every day public access because of unsociable behaviour etc. Also, as it ends in Highgate depot, public access at the other end would be difficult without...

    Northern line train evacuation at Clapham Common

    The 95 stock car 'air conditioning' (forced air blown in through vents in the car), used to be an intermittent nuisance, especially after it started getting warmer and the AC came into use after a long time of being idle. Trains were tipped out at various times due to 'smoke' in the car which...

    Three Underground depot derailments during snowfall 11 December

    Generally, such as in the Northern line depots before point electrification, the hand worked points are not locked in place. Pulling the lever uses a spring to pull the points over and hold them in place. There is no indication that the points are fully in place, other than by observation. An...

    Thanks. I missed it when I checked the draft. I'll let Franklin know. I thought I replied to this a couple of days ago, but I obviously didn't click on Post!

    Carto Metro map London v4.3 now online

    Franklin is the one that does the map. I'll pass your comments on to him (or he may read this thread). There may be a physical size limit for the map which makes it unrealistic to expand any further, especially as this would mean extending it vertically about 4 miles.

    Carto Metro map London v4.3 now online

    Thanks You're right about that, that was done during the changes when it was a mix of new and old layout. The London lines map is a bit more up to date, but still need some changes to the naming of the London Bridge and Blackfriars tracks. I'll check out the current SA

    Carto Metro London 4.1 map now online.

    Looking back, the filename date for the first map, v1.0, is February 2011 (it may have been uploaded just before that). The map looks rather bare:D. This showed the original tube lines only. Over the years, this was gradually expanded to include the main lines in the area of the map, most of...

    Carto Metro London 4.1 map now online.

    I think that the main reason the termini are not shown on the map is due to the potential lack of space in some areas where the map may be 'busy'. especially at large termini where the track layout covers a wide area (one option would be to have these termini shown in a separate inset). As there...

    Carto Metro London 4.1 map now online.

    Perhaps termini are seen as not so important. At Brixton, a train waiting in the tunnel for a train to cross in front of it would probably be entering the same platform that the train had just departed from, so the delay would be caused by having to wait for an empty platform. A graded scissors...
