  Tube sell-off back on agenda
Privatisation of London Underground has been mooted by right-wing Tories for years but the subject remained in the sidings until a throwaway comment from prime minister John Major at last year's Conservative Party conference that the principles of rail privatisation could be applied to the Tube.
Despite this, there is a surprising dearth of recent research on London Underground's privatisation and Britain's new railway barons are reluctant to upset their Department of Transport paymasters by revealing what they would like to do with the Tube.
The stock market triumphs of Railtrack and Prism Rail stirred a city appetite for the sector and the most obvious way of privatising the Underground would be to sell off the right to operate the trains and create a company to own the track.

  London Underground
The London Underground is a public transport network, composed of electrified railways that run underground in tunnels in central London and above ground in the London suburbs.
London Underground states that North Greenwich station, for example, "is large enough to contain 3,000 double-decker buses or an ocean liner the size of the Queen Mary within its walls".
London Transport also sell daily, weekend, weekly, monthly, and annual "LT cards", allowing unlimited rides in one or more zones on buses or on the London Underground; these are a good deal for commuters and anyone else who rides the trains or buses daily.

 D Stock
The D Stock was introduced into passenger service in January 1980 and is the principal stock used for services on the District Line.
The stock was built to replace the CO/CP and R Stocks then operating on the District.
The good performance is partly a result of the age of the stock, now 20 years, which is considered mature, partly because it is well understood by the operators and maintainers and partly because it has had a number of modifications to get better reliability.

 Perspective: London terrorists missed their target
Perhaps his time fuze didn't explode properly, and he was forced to leave the Underground, and set off his device by hand on the only transportation left, one of London' iconic red double-decker buses.
Every Londoner I talk to is determined that he or she will live up to the tradition established from 1940 to 1945.
The London population of today is very different from that in the early 1940s - more immigrants, many from Muslim lands - and fewer people of the "native" English stock.

Also the most comfortable stock on the Tube, the A stock was given a new lease of life when the fleet was comprehensively refurbished during the early-to-mid 90's, and it is expected to last until well into the new century.
The prototypes for the next generation of Tube stock, which was to replace the pre-1938 stock on the Piccadilly and Central Lines, were the three 1956 stock trains, which spent the first half of their lives on the Piccadilly Line and the second half on the Northern.
The Mark II stock was gradually made suitable for one-person-operation during the period in which it was transferred to the Bakerloo and the most noticeable visual difference was the introduction of a liquid-crystal train number display.

NEW YORK (AP) — The World War II radio broadcasts of Edward R. Murrow are now regarded as high points in the history of journalism, vivid examples of how the spoken word can bring home events of infinite horror and complexity from thousands of miles away.
Murrow, born in rural North Carolina in 1909, joined CBS in 1935 and two years later was transferred to London, where he served as chief of the network's European operations.
The longest document, 19 pages, is called London Underground and appears to be a working draft for a magazine-style broadcast about the city's bomb shelters.
