The Tube

[Kveta]

did anyone else watch this?

Even as someone who no longer lives in London, I thought it was a brilliant documentary.

Funny and interesting, and quite sad at times (the former Soviet Union cyclist who is now a cleaner, and the stabbing at Leicester Square (followed by inevitable 'how the f* am I meant to get home?' reactions from Londoners, rather than 'oh god, how awful' which one would think is the obvious response to hearing about a stabbing!)), and the engineering work was fascinating.

I enjoyed it too kveta. Look forward to next episode. Liked the way most of the workers enthused about their jobs. Yes, the former cyclist seemed very disillusioned with Britain.

I found it fascinating. have to admit to muttering 'how am I supposed to get home', but of course I am sad to hear that something has happened.

DH does use the tube twice a week, and he said he found the programme enlightening! We were both quite surprised that Passenger Action didn't just mean passenger under the train, as for some reason that was what we thought it meant! And the engineering bit was particularly interesting, as on the rare occasion we go into London at the weekend, we spend the whole time swearing about the tube being partially closed - but it does make sense now!

I loved the tourists too :o

The lady pushed on the track scared the shit out of me-that cctv footage.

Knew there was a reason why I get twitchy if the dc are anywhere near the yellow line.
