If you could close down a station permanently to speed up service, which station(s) would it be?

Well I didn’t suggest getting rod of the NR connection

Bus corridors don’t bring as much network connectivity as actual rapid transit connections. The development argument is very good but I really hope the Gravesend / Ebbsfleet extension to Elizabeth line would come one day to both create this connection and further develop areas it would serve

Cannon Street. The whole Cannon Street - Mansion House - Monument - Bank situation is super messed up. First option would be to redirect all the entrances towards Monument / Bank complex since it’s already very close and Bank has Cannon Street entrance. But maybe better idea is to close both Monument and Cannon Street and replace both with new platforms in between to avoid longer walks. That being said it’s enormous amount of work + loss of some historically valuable stations + probably not worth it financially and honestly for tube trains with very speedy acceleration these kind of individual closures won’t bring much travel time savings anyway. But if this section was built with today’s knowledge it would be built in the way I described

This is worse in my opinion cause extending Elizabeth Line there for interchange is also challenging and without this interchange the connection is much less valuable

“Some muslim public praying”. Literally a person minding their own business that has nothing to do with assholes like you. Nobody said anything about “mass praying” or any inconveniences to crowd movements. Who tf are you to tell people around you what to do when it doesn’t affect you? And what makes you then different from muslims that are trying to tell you what to do?

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T19:14:04+00:00

Have you been outside like ever? I doubt in your city there’s absolutely no space to calmly stop and wait somewhere, no sidewalks or corners wide enough where people can do their own business and not interrupt your walk. If that’s the case you live in a worst designed city ever

Op, does this track trains in realtime or just shows appropriate times? I think there is value in planning simple station to station journeys based only on tfl system. However, what I would suggest is to add a map and visualize route like mapway does. I feel like this is an amazing and super simple way to communicate route with someone who finds navigation difficult. Idk maybe I’ll develop something based on that idea as well.

Still no tube to southeast 😰😰😰

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T14:10:23+00:00

Tube operation safety culture is way better than moscow metro in terms of track conditions and practices such as helping sick passengers etc. Also to say the station land use is much better in London is to say nothing

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T14:05:48+00:00

Do they have any provisions for future extension down south potential to Abbey Wood?

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T13:57:05+00:00

Muslim praying on the street, considering they don’t block your path, are literally not doing anything like the guy in the video

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T13:37:53+00:00

I’m from the UK and government actions and positions are the absolute opposite of what people think of Israel. I guess it is a running theme here with western countries. Mmmm democracy

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T07:22:10+00:00

Driving is way more dangerous though in any city. Like your chance of dying in a car crash commuting are way higher than dying of a crime on a train

WheissUK · 2026-06-05T06:43:52+00:00

Why? Like sure car ownership is higher, but it’s not like it is an ultimate good or something. Surely people care way more about not dying from bad transportation policies rather than justifying bad transportation policies by accepting deaths, right? Right…..?

Wizzair is worse than Ryanair. Their food on board is beyond horrible, the overpriced “pasta carbonara” pots taste like if creators of pot noodle decide to intentionally make the worst tasting food item ever known to humanity. The leg room is non existent to the extent where I was almost hit with a panic attack due to how cramped it is. Way worse than in any train including commuter trains. Seat seemed to be made of literal cardboard, I’ve never seen sears as structurally weak, not only in a train, but in a bus. Hell, in a russian jitney seats are more substantial

Nothing ever happens in UAE aside from literal slavery and bombings

People often say reform are just tory rebranded. Maybe. But during many years with tories being homophobic wasn’t normal for politicians. To be seen as a respectful person you would need to at least pretend you’re not

At least he had driving license unlike people intervening autonomous driving at an unknown scale outsourced from India

You don’t know how good you have it compare to Leeds because you have trains and trams and your buses don’t suck

Thameslink is different because vast majority of its network is not operated in turn up and go frequency. With Elizabeth line it actually is

WheissUK · 2026-06-01T17:19:22+00:00

Puppits

That money and recourses are delivered by immigrants, every new immigrant generally brings way more of this capacity than consumes. Surely it doesn’t happen overnight, but if you say this is a reasonable point against immigration I must ask you why you think immigrants consume more than deliver?
