What if the Underground covered all the area south of the Thames and
only a little bit of the north bank, instead of vice versa? http://www.colourcountry.net/images/...derground.html Someone had too much time on their hands, but I take my hat off to them nevertheless.

I like that, very clever indeed. As someone from that part of the world, I love the idea of a tube station at Chessington North, although by a quirk of geography, the Crooked Billet underpass gets a tube station, but not Kingston Upon Thames! |

Actually, Stepney Green is Wimbledon -- Plaistow is Berrylands. OTOH I'm a bit confused about Palace Gate. Presumably Crystal Palace is the old high-level station, while Palace Gate is the existing low-level one? |

Dogs is dogs, and cats is dogs, and squirrels in cages is parrots, but this here turtle is a h'insect, and we won't charge you nothin'.
