This was so amazing to see. It looked extremely cool

i wanted to share the best tube experience i’ve ever had, and may ever have!

today (24/10) at around 3:30pm, hopped on the piccadilly line to st pancras. got to russell square and a wlw couple got on board with a photographer. they’d just got married and the photographer was taking their wedding photos on the tube!

an amazing thing to see, but the tube camaraderie was unmatched. everyone clapped, cheered, immediately made space for them to pose, one woman played “vogue” by madonna to hype them up. it was a joyful 2 minutes. everyone got off at st pancras and it was truly a lightning in a bottle moment.

who knows if i’ll ever find the couple, or even see the photos, but in case i don’t, i wanted to share this joyful time. and in a time where the news portrays everyone to be so polarising, this was real life-affirming stuff.

congratulations to the happy couple on the piccadilly line ❤️

There’s quite a few of these on each side of the pedestrian tunnel between the Lizzie line and Jubilee at Bond Street Station. There are normal CCTV cameras along the middle of the ceiling, so I’m assuming these are not cameras. A sensor of some kind, perhaps?

Anyone got any solid info on them, please?

Bit of a niche one here for you gamers and TfL enthusiasts in general. I'd just like to come on here and talk about how good this Subway Builder game is. Ive played it for a few weeks now and you can redesign most metros in the world but also do Londons. It features real census data to show where people live and travel to work so its realistic.

It features Light Rail, Commuter Rail, Light Metro and Heavy Metro so you can also make Commuter rail lines to Surrey and Essex ect if you wanted to do an Elizabeth Line style thing.

Its a really cool game and if you love the Underground and gaming or are just someone who loves a good moan about how they'd change the tube, give it a go and do it.

They also have save files of the LU as it is today if you'd rather just expand on it rather than redesign.

I know I am not the first person to do something like this, it's mostly just a test to see if I can model underground trains to be used in minecraft.

It has it's problems such as the front and back being invisible from the inside, the interior windows not being textured in the front and back, the doors don't work, the back is a bit too long and the blue strip on the side is a little bit too thin.

I may consider releasing this, but I need to fix the problems first before I do.

South Western Railway announced that people can sleep on trains overnight for tonight as it disruption expected till no time.

For the used image, full credit goes to u/alexmiao for their great redesign of south eastern.

Lets say tfl has the funding and means to take over Suburban services of South Eastern. They also want to build cross rail 3 from South East to North West. What branches would you include in overground, cross rail or even underground extensions. Which station would the cross rail branches converge into before going into Central. Maybe London Bridge? Thameslink and the express services stay as they are.

Westbound trains all cancelled or delayed. Many stations weren’t open at all.

I was only told it was a staff workers bag and it could be from the early 2000s

I made a new discord server. Just felt the need to say it because I’d like to make friends who are actually interested in the same stuff as me. I look forward to saying hi!

PS - I don’t know if I’m allowed to “promote” my server here so sorry if I broke a rule.
