Weekend Playlist: Tube

Weekend Playlist: Tube

Here's the weekend playlist created by Leigh with help from guest curator Alun looking at X/twitter selections (10/10/2025) with Songs that reference the tube/london underground.
This was inspired by the anniversairy of the opening of Wood Lane underground station on Sunday (12/10/2008)

Random Musings - Day #357

I was wondering today if it was faster to get to Canary Wharf via DLR at Woolwich Arsenal or Greenwich from Woolwich Arsenal. The answer is slightly surprisingly via Greenwich. But it is only by a few minutes. In fact, you should change at Canning Town and get the jubilee line instead.

Also found this annoying... people who use two cards in the same cashpoint machine when there is a queue. It's just inconsiderate!
