Somone else I know wrote to them, and they came back saying that they were
only interested in London and New York. So once we've done Paris (just
for
the hell of it .. ), then it'll be time to head across the pond and do the
NYS! double running tracks .. .24 hour operation .. what more could you
want? :-)


I'd like to see how they'd decide the criteria for completion in NYC, as
it's much harder to define what constitutes an individual station.

There are several stations with the same name that are completely seperate
from one another, and other stations with different names that are
accessible from one another without coming to the surface, very different
from the composite interchange stations that we're used to.

And then you have the fast running lines that don't pass a platform surface
when they go through the station - would travelling on a fast train through
these stations count? And then there are the stations where the up and down
platforms are effectively seperate stations, with no subterrain connection
between the two.

I don't think even I would want to travel on that system all day either!
