![]() Anyone bemused by LUL's inability to spell St James's Park might enjoy this sign which has adorned the wall of the New York Subway since 1933... http://www.forgotten-ny.com/SUBWAYS/...d/brodaway.jpg -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

The spelling of the area for centuries before LUL was St James's Park. Indeed, and LUL have generally followed that spelling (with a dot after "St"). But there is one roundel sign on the eastbound platform that says St. James' Park. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

The spelling of the area for centuries before LUL was St James's Park. But LUL like to back all the horses by having numerous signs with different spellings. A case of at least one of them must be right? ;-) -- Bob Adams - email address: |
