While the romantic tale of the underdog defeating the legal giant of a large company is enjoyable, it seems inappropriate here. The large company was trying to do infrastructure works that would benefit the local community (or enable the mind control chips that Bill Gates implanted in everyone...

I was going to say Waterloo and Waterloo East - they are neighbouring, they are physically connected, but the latter clarification on them having to be physically connected by track ruins pedantry corner

Until the heat death of the universe, it seems

If there is a route from that calls at A, B, C. Its mileage is done from a route that no longer exists. I don't know, they built a bridge/tunnel between A and B that knocked many miles off the route. Fine, the mileages at B and C are "wrong", but they are fixed, known, accepted, etc. A new...

Among other aircraft... ...I'll get my coat

I've mentioned before a really daft one... At Whatever Park football grounds, the code word for evacuation is "Would Mr Whatever please report to reception". I heard it once during setup, a very "announcer" voice doing the sound test. "Would Mr Whatever please report to reception. Would Mr...

Cool, shows how much attention I pay then!

I'm not saying that - I fully understand the need for extra revenue streams. And the dark mode northern line map looks really neat - makes an interesting proof of concept. My question was around the alcohol advertising side, rather than the general advertising.

Hmm, that's got me thinking... Which makes the other advertising rules even dafter - you can't advertise a Mars bar, but you can advertise White Lightning? (I thought part of why the advertising was done for the Bakerl0.0 was to be able to say "we aren't advertising alcohol!")

In which case, with it being real... TfL don't like HFSS advertising - there was a report a few years back now of a comedian with a cake advertising the comedy show but it wasn't able to be shown because it had cake on it, if I remember correctly? You can't have alcohol on TfL services. There...

I saw a picture on Reddit of a Northern Line Guinness advert. It is effectively a Dark Mode line map, with a white top in the style of a Guinness glass. I have unsuccessfully searched for another source for this - it might be that this is an early image of it, or it may be some form of...

The one time (guess I've been lucky) I've been on a bus that has broken down, three instruction was to tap in on the new bus and pay a second fare. It predated hopper fares. When I've been on a bus that is being stopped short, the next bus (whenever that may be) has needed a tap in. And with...

Oh!!! Is that why one of the banks of lifts at the Royal London has a sign near it pointing to the "accessible lifts"? That always has me scratching my head. (It's a bank of lifts where you have to choose a destination on the outside, and I have only got myself stuck in one once so far)

Brockenhurst to Lymington Pier Ryde Pier Head to Shanklin Waterloo to Bank Brighton to Hove Guildford to Waterloo via Stoke Dab Several of the DLR options but can't remember which Folkestone to Coquelles

When Dave Smith leaves, you can give his badge to Dave Jones. Saved the budget airline a fiver there.

This is interesting reading - I do stuff in both a software and medical field. The only time a customer knows my name (or even that I exist) is in a meeting, or if I have authored some paperwork and many name is in there. My previous software job, I was support, development, installation...

0.0xford would look so much better

Serious one - was there much at the time? Or were people used to tube stations getting renamed every few years? I suppose we had less international travel then, and the attitude to disabled people was more "stop being disabled!" There is also the difference between a long term renaming and...

Road mileages do, tube mileages are from Ongar. (Or has that been updated?)

If they have to rename, wouldn't 0.0xford be a neater way of doing it?
