What's your underground line?

I only call it that because it doesn't have stairs and lifts in the right places (i.e. between Waterloo and KGX) when I'm carrying my suitcase.

Oh in that case :tongue:

The old victoria line seemed more of a joy ride.

In a good way :cool:

Loved the way the train was at high speed, there's just something unique about those tunnels when the train goes fast.

Air rushes into your ear fast, the carriage bouncing a little bit, left to right, ahhhhh

If you wanted a roller-coaster ride in London, at times the old Victoria line could have just been a great substitute.

I find it creepy that the doors always (nearly) open outwards when it's in a tunnel and air rushes through it.

Two things I LOVE about the new Vic trains is the sound of it gearing up and the sound of the air when it's in a tunnel. Love it, love it, love it.

You probably guessed I take the Victoria line a LOT! :colondollar:

Metropolitan, I used to despise going on it as the trains were like 60 years old, but now they're one of the nicest trains on the underground.

The area of London with more tube stations than any other (assuming you don't live in the next area down the road to the west) :p:

Sorry, hope I'm not completely stupid but what did you mean by the bit in brackets?? :confused:

At the moment the Bakerloo is the most "unreliable" in terms of delays etc. Usually it's the Circle/District/H&C, by a long way. The Central line is actually one of the most reliable and has comparatively few problems, even if it is way overcrowded a lot of the time.

Don't forget how they use to practically bounce between King Cross and Seven Sisters!

And the 'emergency braking' that was the normal way to break! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNqKnfT52tw)

That clip brings back memories <3

And the trains felt fast too!
I even loved the commentary too!

I loved the Victoria line with a passion- I missed those trains

'please move right down inside the car' It was superb!
If I was in charge the money spent on the silly new trains would have been spent extending the Victoria line to Streatham!

Is that how long it's going to take for them to pimp the bakerloo line? Damn, I'll be able to go to uni up North, come back and STILL enjoy the line :biggrin:

Oh, I'm so happy!

Yeah- they're having problems getting funding!

They also want to change the Piccadilly line trains too!

I think they should extend the bakerloo line and victoria without wasting money painting stations and new trains

The Northern Line will be upgraded by next year

I like the strech between Kings Cross heading eastbound on the circle/h and c/district. Some of the view out the window feels really old fashioned London.
