All points very valid - can I move on, maybe a little off thread but
still tied in to the Vic Line investment...


According to Metronet's website Walthamstow Central will be
refurbished by 2006 (ok its nearly August so not too much to look
forward to) - anyone know the actual plans ?

I know that money ran out in the Vic Line project originally and hence
Finsbury Park upwards is basically shell with a light shade ! but will
they ever do the decent thing and line the walls etc ever ?

..... also will the link ever open at Walthamstow - I understand that
it may be political between plans and plans, Underground/Buses/****
Ken etc; oh and a lot of squabbling, and I know that any plan in E17
seems to be fundementally a bad idea thru failure!! (look around)

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone else thinks it would be far more hygenic, more
pleasant & acceptable if the decision to no longer cover seats on new
trains in fabric was made.

Maybe as other mass transit systems use, eg, New York, a hard rigid
plastic. Still comfortable to sit on given that you are only on it
briefly !!! and not holding hidden all kinds of gunk that must be
embedded in the fabric.....

Just Wondered !
