Mapper's delight: the London Underground diagrams Underground London, including 'lost' Tube stations, is represented in a map at the bottom of an article from Heritage Magazine, while a sideshift in transport generates a map of motorways in the London area or the UK (the latter by Gerald Higgins). London is calling is an interactive (and not entirely accurate) Tube map with the names of stations replaced by the titles of films shot at those locations. The London Underground Map: Imagining Modern Time and Space [PDF] by Janin Haidlaw (Design Issues 19(1), Winter 2003) applies semiotics to understanding the history of the diagram. owen.massey.net /tubemaps.html   (1161 words)

Articles - East London Line The opening of the Docklands Light Railway provided a new connection for the East London Line at Shadwell (although the tube and DLR stations are 50 m apart and the interchange is via the street), and in 1999 a new station, Canada Water, was opened to connect with the Jubilee Line Extension. In 1998, London Transport announced that it was seeking private funds to realise plans that had been discussed for some years to extend the line into south London, sharing track and stations with the main line network (as already happens on parts of the Bakerloo Line, District Line and Metropolitan Line). However, it was held up when it came to light that a Grade I-listed 17th century Braithwaite arches in the former Bishopsgate Goods Yard was to be demolished as part of the project. www.gaple.com /articles/East_London_Line   (1592 words)

Underground Ghost Stations and Lines Unique among the stations on this list, Bull and Bush was never opened although it was completed at track level as part of the Edgware Line in 1907. On the tight curve just before the junction to the East London line, the station was always small and cramped and also very close to Whitechapel and Aldgate East stations (especially after the latter was moved further eastwards in 1938). However, following the rebuilding of both nearby stations it was closed in May 1932 and a reversing siding built into the station space. www.londonrailways.net /ghost.htm   (1625 words)

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)

BBC - h2g2 - The Ultimate Guide to the London Underground - A48502 Lots of stations have closed down, but are still sitting there in a strangely unnerving way (unnerving, anyway, for anyone who has seen Quatermass and the Pit). Definitely the best looking station on the Underground, and it has the added advantage of having the longest escalator on the whole tube system (Upper Street being on a hill). There are actually 'suburban' pigeons, who live in the north and west of London, who quite literally commute into town during the day to feed off the rich pickings provided by tourists, and then return to roost in the suburbs come nightfall. www.bbc.co.uk /dna/h2g2/alabaster/A48502   (2659 words)

Zones 1 to 6 cover all of Greater London and a few extra stations; the remaining zones are named A, B, C and D, of which zone D is the most remote and consists of Amersham and Chesham out in the Chiltern Hills on the Metropolitan Line.

My mom called and said that she had gone to the bus station but it had not come in on the 1:40 bus; they told her yet another bus would be coming in at 2:30 so she would wait for that. The plan was that she would stop by the Greyhound station and get the package, because by the time she got home through rush hour traffic, we would not have enough time to stop and get it before going to the airport. www.cs.cmu.edu /~lanthony/personal/vacation/london.html   (5806 words)
