problem: the entire country outside of london doesn't like londoners

another problem: the tube is experiencing overcrowding

3rd problem: heritage rail enthusiasts miss steam trains on the tube

obvious solution: steam on the met all day everyday and cause mass carbon monoxide poisoning

like this but more :)

There are no downsides to this. The Metropolitan Railway designed ways to keep steam stored through tunnels in the 1860s and 70s, today we can surely have the same innovation to not make everyone in central London inhale carbon monoxide fumes

Remember that the Overground lines have new names, so get to remembering them now so that you don't embarrass yourself in front of your in-the-know friends, like how this man suggesting going down to Shepherd's Bush from the Kilburn High Road has.

what if i made a sideblog for hs2 as someone from a county that capital H HAAATES hs2 (not because of the transport it will one day provide but because how it's torn up the countryside and taken too long to make mind you)

just to meme on it

That's fine, bear in mind that at TfL we're big HS2 fans though

[tfl-official]

Everyone put your thoughts on the new Overground names in the reblogs v

Hi tfl-official,

Any thoughts on the Picadilly line closures this week?

Yours affectionately,

Hopefully you're grateful that you get to use the best and second-cheapest mode of transport to get to Heathrow, the Elizabeth line. Don't worry about your train losing electricity on the Great Western Main Line, this has never happened ever

@aura218 Which maps were simple? We'll fix that right away

We need to build the Tube from the ground back up and this seems like a good way to do it

[iamatalossfornames]

Would recommend Overcrowd or Station Flow for the stations.

Wouldn't it be cool though of you could build your station in station flow, optimise for efficiency and then export that station into your Cities Skylines world so you could have micromanaged so deep in and optimised exactly what you wanted to build.

[tfl-official]

Have not heard of these two, thank you!

I'm starting to think @amtrak-official has something against us.

National Rail SWEEP!

[tfl-official]

Not my remit by Blackfriars is such an underrated central London station, I almost feel as if it's taken for granted over ten years later but it's an incredible station even on a global scale

[tfl-official]

If the central station is where the current rail station is, then I'm wondering about the need of a middlehaven station at all considering how it's literally right outside the front door

Central station on that line is on the south side of the current station whereas the Middlehaven tram stop is at the top half of the area, anticipating more development
