I saw a heart-warming thing on the tube the other day that I thought I would share with you all. It was in the middle of a particularly stuffy afternoon on a stalled Northern line train outside of King’s cross. The carriage was about half-full and a woman in her 50s started to cough. At first it seemed like qu...

Has anyone else seen the busker/tube poet who tells the awful rhyme about the tube? I saw him last Friday 22nd August on the Northern Line at about 6ish (not my normal line thank God). He is white, quite skinny, skinhead with a strange long strand of blue hair protruding from the front. He gets on the train and s...

I have. It was on the Northern Line several years ago and I was with a group of drunk people who decided that it would be a great idea to have a fag while on the tube. We happened to be at the front of the train and the driver opened his little door and shouted to us, “If you’re going to smoke, you cou...

Does anyone know what happened this morning at northbound Northern Line at Balham this morning. A Bank train went through without stopping and then a Charing Cross train did the same thing. I pressed the emergency button and the guys upstairs didn’t have a clue. An announcement was then made that northbound...

It was some years ago, when I was but a 17yo college girl. And, it was the one and only time I hadn’t bought my dad’s Evening News so had nowt to read and while away my journey home on the Northern Line from the Elephant to Morden. So, prepared to spend my time staring at nothing in particular, I boar...

Over the last few weeks, my two commute tube stations Balham and Clapham Common have been piping classical music onto the concourse. Obviously, these two are both on the Northern Line and only a few stops appart, has anyone elso noticed this on any other stations/lines? Is this a new way of calming us on our commute?

Tonight I went to a wicked mexican bar on Warren St. the name escapes me, but it rocked- mexican style. On the way home on the northern line there were a couple of Kiwis opposite me, chatting non offensively with each other, when a dishevelled man boarded. He stared at me, at them, then sat down. He got off tw...

I am still haunted by the memory of a brush with a tube pervert. This happened about two years ago, but I have always longed to know whether anyone else has ever seen this guy, or whether I was the lucky witness to a one-off. One morning, I got on the Northern Line at Tooting Broadway, grabbed a seat and was deep...

I really can’t get my arse into gear today, so please…humour me. What, for you, is the smell of London? What is the smell that no matter where you were when you smelt it, would remind you of this city? For me, it would have to be that rather unpleasant burnt smell you get on the tube sometime, especia...

Hi there, while traveling on the Northern Line in the London Underground last week I noticed that the train I was on did have yellow grab poles. My impression was that usually all lines sport the same pole colour as the line colour (red for Central, yellow for Circle etc.), so I was expecting black poles. Does...

I have just found out that Oval tube station, which I can see from my flat windows, is closing at 10pm every Sunday-Thursday nights (inclusive) from this weekend until MID APRIL 2009. I bought my flat in part because of its delicious proximity to the tube. And although transport links are great and I can walk to Vau...
