    Fear of being stuck on the underground without an announcement from tube driver. Pls help!

    You have been very unlucky. In my 30 years of taking the Tube I've never had an incident.

    Northern Line Battersea Extension - Opened September 20 2021

    I agree with Geoff, the line shouldn't be extended to Clapham because it would flood the trains with people at the start

    Northern Line Battersea Extension - Opened September 20 2021

    Stupid question, but why didn't they bother putting in platform doors in a new station, seems a missed opportunity?

    New Series: The Tube Going Underground

    It seems the Embankment staff had the best gig. Was the pedestrian bridge they watched the fireworks from closed to the public then?

    New Series: The Tube Going Underground

    From the Leicester Square CCTV, it looked like 2 platforms were empty and 2 where full. I wonder which they where? i dont have any sympathy for people who say "they should have told be that the line is closed". You think TFL send brain waves out to inform you? It's very easy to check before you...

    I wonder at Victoria, did the staff get training and iPads after she complained or was that always going to happen?

    New Series: The Tube Going Underground

    I agree with the ad .. I've never been happy after starting commuting and always come into work angry. I'm also lucky that I can boycott TFL and not use their tubes and buses.

    Every Tube ticket office to close

    I'm pretty sure unmanned stations have always been a bad idea. it took me a while but I found a clip from Rail Cops where the constable comments that in unstaffed stations kids run riot (see 11:00). This was more then 10 years ago, ahs no-one learnt? He later syas youths at unmanned station...

    Richmond & Wimbledon District Line Platforms

    If no trains are going to stop there why did they not have installed it on the platform edge, rather then take up valuable platform space? Have they got rid of the waiting room too?
