Someone has made fake London Underground signs, and whoever did it is a ruddy genius.

[MAGA MAN]

It was never all that wide that I noticed. They sell t-shirts with the signs and saying though. It's something that apparently all tourists think it is just the thing that needs to be remembered about London.

Street cars in Switzerland and Germany don't have that problem. In some of the German cities their streetcars are built so low that the platforms are not much higher than a standard curb. This allows incredibly easy access, even for wheelchairs. And most of them have GPS tracking with message boards relaying in real time when the next train is.

In contrast, London is at least 40 years behind. But it is "quaint".

Bank station on the Central Line curves to avoid the Bank of England's vaults, you can see that they wouldn't be happy for a line to run too near to the vaults. . Also they built curves to keep the stations following the lines of roads to avoid going under properties where possible.

The London Underground suffers for being the oldest and the biggest in the world, the newer lines like the Victoria and Jubilee don't have gaps, either horizontal or vertical. In fact on the Jubilee Line all platforms have doors which only open when there is a train in the station.

I see that you are pining for your old mate 007, why don't you arrange to meet him in a Boston bar?

I heard that there's a parking garage within walking distance.
