Spider Man Rides The Tube
Not every superhero swings through the city, some catch the tube instead.
It took a few attempts to nail the timing, but I finally made the SpiderMan poster look like Spidey is hitching a ride on a passing train. Captured at Oxford Circus station.
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
Britain's new High Speed 2 (HS2) railway is to be operated by 'thermally actuated traction locomotives', according to an announcement by the UK Government's HS2 Secretary John Oak. The technology is understood to be a modern variation on traditional steam locomotion and has been proposed as the latest cost-cutting measure in Britain's controversial – and hugely over budget – high speed rail project.
The announcement comes a week after the government confirmed it was considering running slower trains on the line in an effort to bring costs under control. HS2 is designed to operate trains capable of reaching 360kph (223mph) but the newly announced TATL trains are expected to have an operating speed of just 160kph (100mph).
Commenting on the news, Frank Ake, chair of the railway lobbying group "Britain Needs Speed" said: "This is a total joke. HS2 is one of the most mismanaged infrastructure projects in Britain's history but even so, how anybody could believe this is beyond me."
Why does the area surrounding a CENTRAL LINE STATION look like the rural countryside???? I want towers with 10 floors surrounding that station on all sides
fun fact: if you start wallace & gromit: the wrong trousers at exactly 23:45:00 today, you’ll be halfway through a incredible film when the clock strikes midnight
I mean it when I say every station in the country should be this nice and there should be significant funding available for it.
Stations are community hubs and public assets, generally 1000s of people walk through them every day, we deserve them to be beautiful, cared for places
