Photographs of London Underground Stations MetaFilter Surprising as it might sound, according to a recent survey, tourists think the London underground is very efficient and people travelling in it very kind and helpful (just try telling this to my pregnant co-workers!) but it's all down to fact that tourists don't use the tube during rush hour. this gives the proper impression of how old and antiquated london's underground really is. it is simultaneously a world class tourist destination and a third world transportation system. This district of north London was recorded as Cockfosters in 1524 and although the origin of the name is uncertain, it is possible that is derived from either the personal name of a family that once lived here, or a house recorded in 1613 on the edge of Enfield Chase called Cockfosters. www.metafilter.com /comments.mefi/38966   (1294 words)

Geofftech / Underground / Other Challengers The service between Amersham and Aylesbury was officially withdrawn from London Underground operation (and therefore no longer part of the challenge) on the 10th September 1961, making it 4 less stations that you had to do. They were mainly doing it just for charity (North London Hospice) and were being sponsored on a 'per station' basis, so that even if they didn't do all 275, they'd still make a lot of money.

City Mayors: London Underground and Tube Some visitors may regard some stations as shabby but a multi-million pound modernisation programme is underway that hopes to renovate the network fully while retaining the character of its oldest stations, which are architectural gems in their own right. In 1933, the London Passenger Transport Board was created to oversee all public transport in the capital and in 1948 this was officially nationalised as the London Transport Executive, a division of the British Transport Commission which also controlled airports, docks, railways and road freight. While West London is amply covered by the network, there are parts of East and South London that remain uncatered for due to historic reasons. www.citymayors.com /transport/london_underground.html   (2958 words)
