Looks quite good

It does look impressive I have to say, I think Nexus should install those Barrier Doors on the Edge of all Tyne and Wear Metro Platforms to Prevent people falling onto the Tracks.

A few of the busier LU stations have them, such as The o2 Arena.

No idea how the train pulls up so perfectly each and every time.
Would be going backwards and forwards if I was the pilot!

Was in London yesterday and as normal used the Victoria Line. I have often commented to my work colleague how fast these trains come into the stations, it makes the Metro look like a snail in comparison.

I've noticed that on the Victoria. You think they're going to go straight through the speed they come in at.

The BBC website seem to pull these gems out now and again.
It has been touched on previously in the thread, but always worth looking at again.

What is even more interesting is the mention of the River Fleet in the Article above, As the BBC did an Episode titled "London Underground" for it's hit series of New Tricks which has recently just finished.

Details about the Episode

When the body of film critic Oliver Houghton is found in the Thames (at the point where the Fleet flows into it) Sasha Miller is forced to work alongside her ex-husband Ned Hancock again. UCOS delves into the victim's past and explores his link to the murder of a conceptual artist 20 years previously, while Hancock's knowledge of London's hidden past proves invaluable when a piece of occult footage from the 1970s plunges the investigators into the macabre world of human sacrifice.

Also managed to find the Full Episode on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49YkUR_MmMs
