writes Some of them aren't that deep. Victoria is closest to the surface, Piccadilly is just underneath, and Northern is just underneath that. However, all of them are over to the eastern side of the overground station and the tube ticket hall. How far down is the Fleet where they cross it? My understanding is that it is level with the tube ticket hall. -- Clive D.W.

There'd be no time left to enjoy my day trip to Paris at all.
"enjoy" and "Paris" aren't normally words I'd expect to see in the same sentence :-P -- To reply direct, remove NOSPAM and replace with railwaysonline For railway information, news and photos see http://www.railwaysonline.co.uk |

I lived there for four years, many years ago now, and adored it. Still love going back - we are thinking of a short break there next month, just because. -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 12 December 2004 |

Well I suppose my main reason was that I went there with someone in a wheelchair, and Paris seems to be the most wheelchair-unfriendly city that I have ever taken my mum to, it's rare to find a bus that has an operational wheelchair ramp, there is no map avaliable for the metro for those who want to take wheelchairs on it, and the lowered kerbs aren't very lowered, plus almost every resturaunt had steps to get in. Food & Drinks were very expensive (I spent about £5 on a cup of tea), and there didn't seem to be much around to do, I spent every night in my room watching BBC World. -- To reply direct, remove NOSPAM and replace with railwaysonline For railway information, news and photos see http://www.railwaysonline.co.uk |

I agree about the wheelchair access (of course, when I lived there, this was not considered an issue either there or here), but there's masses to do in Paris! Loads and loads of films (very often in "Version Originale", meaning the original language with subtitles, very often English), shows, theatres, etc. And quite apart from anything else, an evening meal in a French restaurant will very often last until bedtime! And if the weather is fine, you can just walk and walk and walk, stopping every so often for a cup of coffee or beer.... -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 18 December 2004 |
