Tube could close in future heatwaves
"Adrian" wrote Ummm, lemme guess... No buffets on tube trains? Pullman cars Mayflower and Galatea ran on the Met between 1910 and 1939. Peter |

Charles Ellson ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying : Ummm, lemme guess... No buffets on tube trains? Pullman cars Mayflower and Galatea ran on the Met between 1910 and 1939. Not quite tube trains in any sense. The Met is certainly a tube line. |

"Adrian" wrote in message . 244.170... Charles Ellson ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : Ummm, lemme guess... No buffets on tube trains? Pullman cars Mayflower and Galatea ran on the Met between 1910 and 1939. Not quite tube trains in any sense. The Met is certainly a tube line. It is not. It is entirely surface (or subsurface in some places), but never tube. That line is run entirely by A stock, which is surface stock, and would not fit in tube tunnels. Even if you consider the Metropolitan to include the Circle,H+C,ELL, it still isn't tube. Richard [in SG19] -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Otherwise known as "in the sense that several million Londoners use it every day, rather than the sense that a handful of railway anoraks insist on it being used when they're feeling *really* pedantic and trying to score points..." |

LU also always capitalise "Tube" when they're talking about themselves. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |
