  • We got 200 people wearing T-Shirts the colours of the different London Underground lines and arranged them to form the shape of the Tube Map!
    Thanks to everyone that came along on the day and particpated, with special thanks to Steve and Charlton Athletic Women for the use of their training pitch.

    They were going to do the Elizabeth line but all the people were late and demanded to be paid a ridiculous amount.

      Well, to be fair, as an American viewer (and a huge transport nerd myself), "muggy" in Britain is *nothing* compared to "muggy" in the American southeast. Trust me, here it's been 30 C (in actuality) with the humidity making it "feel" like 38 C.
