I heard a long discussion on a London talk radio station about the re-
opened Regent's Park tube station and how it went over-budget, opened
late, lifts weren't working etc - the usual stuff, no surprise, that'll
be Metronet.

I saw it open again for the first time yesterday morning. Imagine my
surprise yesterday evening when on my return Bakerloo train the
announcement went out that it was still closed. There was some
surprise among fellow passengers, too, followed by bemusement as we
promptly stopped there and gained passengers.

I wonder how the automated announcement came not to be updated? LUL are
usually very thorough about this sort of thing in my experience.

As an occasional traveller to London, I was quite amused to find my train
passing slowly through a closed tube station (I forget which), with "Mind
the Gap" warnings still being played.
