Daily tube facts, fun and nonsense.

Anyone else spotted these strange creatures on the tube? They seem to come out after heavy rain https://t.co/GQRZXk4YPI

King Charles's first tube station was Charing Cross (called Trafalgar Sq at the time). He visited incognito age 6 and spent 30 mins trainspotting https://t.co/OfX8bfvL3s

This sounds amazing. A 15-mile charity walk following the Elizabeth line, to raise money for vulnerable children's charity @RailwayChildren. Do it! https://t.co/59SUjgyZ76

Hello. I haven't tweeted in YEARS. Talk about Mind the Gap. Anyway, if anyone's still following... here's my roundel of the day, from the entrance to the Archway Tavern

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

My roundel of the week belongs to Compassion London, who are doing sterling work preparing and distributing quality food to London's most vulnerable. Support them here -> https://t.co/dbjANztJc5

Missing @ltmuseum? Many of its star attractions can be browsed online here, including posters, moquettes, photos and maps -> https://t.co/feqpfEvkwH

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

Anyone else think the Circle line looks a bit like a deep-sea angler fish? No? Just me?

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

@DerpyScripts @ltmuseum @geofftech Very good idea, thanks. Will do so later. We've done a roundup with museums and attractions with virtual (streetview-style) tours here https://t.co/0qwSiq9uao

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

It's not a TfL service, but it's bloody useful (when things are normal).

Put Thameslink on the tube map says London Assembly

https://t.co/X8oVqkuV8A

A report on improving accessibility on London's Transport services has called for the fully accessible Thameslink line to be on the Tube map as a matter of some urgency.

Pretty soon, there may be no tube station that doesn't share any of its letters with 'mackerel'. (If you know what I mean.) https://t.co/9NTxZwn2KR

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

@eponine38 Nope

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

Mystery station time again. Which tube stop am I stood outside here? (Though obviously, I'm not really stood there, because I'm isolated at home.)

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

@geozium Half right

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

@Ana_Jesus @Londonist Correct! You are the winner. But who said it was a *packet* of rice?

My Roundel of the Week is this lovely old-timer from the Piccadilly line

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

Ever wonder about this fellow at East Finchley? Here's the history https://t.co/QHCMG1pq1y

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

Who would win in a fight between the tube, and Boston's MBTA transit system? https://t.co/bqo9sq5PCe

[BarryHeckTube @HeckTube]

@alexhbates Correct. You are the winner!

Mystery tube station, cropped from Google Street View time again. This week, it's a well-used station, but not a familiar angle. Where?
