#victorialine — Public Fediverse posts

New book just arrived, circa 1972. It seems to have had an interesting history, originally being at the Museum of London before passing into a private collection.

And now it’s in Canada.

Something terrible has happened at Green Park (very touristy) and the Victoria Line is down

@kenshirriff so a slightly (but only slightly) more advanced version of these, which made up the automatic train control and signalling system of the #VictoriaLine on the #LondonUnderground when it originally opened. Each block contains one gate with eg red for AND and yellow for OR.

🔥 #TfL battles the heat on the Victoria Line with the effectiveness of a #chocolate #teapot. 🫠 Remember when fans and ice packs revolutionized cooling? Neither do they. 🚇

Is TfL losing the battle against heat on the Victoria line?

I swear, #VictoriaLine commuters are some of the most selfish on the #TfL #Underground network. So much room in the car and no-one moves down just because they want to alight as fast as possible at the next station. Ridiculous.

These were from the stretch around Seven Sisters - again, descriptions in the alt text. #WalkTheTube #VictoriaLine

And here follow some other pics that I took on the walk. It turns out that it’s pretty fiddly posting stuff while you shuffle along.

See the alt text for descriptions.

The final scores on the doors.

Turns out someone built a really quick and easy way to get between Walthamstow and Brixton which means you don’t have to walk. I need to remember that for next time.
