I took it to get around London and enjoyed it. Much better than driving or taxis. I don’t know how people drive cars in London, much less those double-decker buses. Doesn’t seem like there’s a inch of room on the streets.

But doesn’t it seem a bit ancient and patched? I really enjoyed looking out the windows at the infrastructure - signals, tunnels, cables, etc. Sort of a cross-section of the technology of the London Underground.

Mind the gap!

Mind the Gap! LOL!

They always seem to be working on the London subways and it goes back decades to our first visit. It is producing some results - the new Westminster station is really nice.

It actually rather endeared me to the London system in contrast to the Paris system into which huge amounts of government money obviously have been dropped.
