Mobiles to work on the tube it seems. Bugger.

LUL did a survey on whether passengers wanted this two or three years ago, and the overwhelming response was "don't be so bloody stupid, can you imagine how much worse rush hour would be if we were all on the phone all the way?" Wisely, or so it seemed at the time, they dropped the plan. But apparently the new surveys have different responses. Well, bugger that, they didn't ask me, so it doesn't count.

Meanwhile, a 24 hour tube strike is likely to happen next week (the 12th) and the Northern line still doesn't have full service.

A further trawl around the news (and yes, Steve was quite right about John Snow's daily email by the way; is there another presenter in the country who would write "We'll be blowing hot and cold air at seven. Come blow up your horn with us, it's a red-hot night, things are a-gurgling. See you then... ") reveals that the Camden Palace has changed hands. For £4M. Someone has money to burn: I wouldn't pay an eighth of that, even if I had it. But oh, I remember Camden Palace in the old days. Well, ten to twelve years ago...

It was rubbish, actually.

LU has conducted a series of surveys among its passengers and most have welcomed the system as long as people were sensible and respected the space and privacy of other travellers.

Now there's the fatal error.

It's hard enough to have a conversation with someone who's actually in the same carriage as you in the first place...

I heard a rumour that March 7th is the day they're hoping to bring it back...

oh, it wasn't that bad. I seem to recall quite a few drunken indie evenings there between 1991 and 1994 :) It was very cheap too.
