A strange observation here...
All signs bearing station names at the stations which had one-unders occur at them were blurred out. Any ideas why?

No prizes for guessing the one on the Victoria Line!

I liked the driving style of the picc driver who lent on the dead-mans handle then used his other hand to move the controller.

Wasn't hard to spot was it!
Tim Pinn (Warwick Av guy) was trending on twitter earlier
The idea of each line having a personality (Picc line guy) was a bit weird

Driving trains obviously turns your head.

I assume they blurred the station name to help protect the identity of the "one unders".
I loved the guy at Warwick Avenue, I'm going to start following him on twitter.

What about the guy at Notting Hill Gate who was in the mood for music? The last time I went to the carnival there were no Underground enthusiasts

The rates can't have gone up, because that would lead to delays and cancellations, and as we all know from hopeful traveller's informative, extensively cited statistics, the tube has actually been improving over the last few years.

Direct quote from my wife's best friend, who is a Northern line driver - "nah, that's rubbish".
There is no such thing as "three and out" (remember that shit film?) It's a myth.

Not yet, and I suspect that if I did, the speed would more than likely do the job ...

Didn't know you were allowed to take class B drugs while driving.

Well Codeine is also Class B drug technically and I don't think taking some Co-codamol would be an issue!
