Dude, Where's My Train?



They've opened a new tube station in London: [livejournal.com profile] yearning. It's somewhat distant from the town centre, in one of the residential zones. To reach the train, you must follow a claustrophobic corridor, then climb a narrow ladder.

The train's platform is suspended, parallel with house roofs. The passengers sit on the roof shingles, side by side, afraid of any sudden movement that will make them slide down, fall, and break their necks. I found myself with [livejournal.com profile] zenithed, sitting beside these passengers, waiting for a late train.

London transport should have thought better when they built this station.
