LU is terribly expensive to maintain. People don't like it surely but the fact is that passengers numbers keep growing.

Once upon a time, Bomb-a-dear manufactured subway stock inherently free of the squealing brake syndrome ... that obsolescence of theirs is at least ten years old now

Huh?

SO143 · April 8th, 2012, 06:11 PM

i heard boris is going to introduce new wireless trains for the LU, does it mean tube drivers and staffs will lose their jobs?

Because you don't have any other choice

When crossarails be there a lot of people will avoid LU no?

i don't really like the london underground because it is way too extensive and expensive.

i think it is the oldest and second largest subway system in the world but if i had a choice i'd rather drive my own car than taking the tube.

The Tube and Crossrail have different purposes.

If you are from North America, it isn't surprising that you would choose the car. But I bet a car is not a good option in London. I remember reading a survey that said Londoners were the biggest users of public transportation in Britain.

Cycling Sundays was often quicker than driving back in the '70s ...

Are there just six episodes to that BBC series?

Is the Congestion Charge to blame for the tube's overcrowding?
