england Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Visited london yesterday first time for 5 yrs used the underground could'nt believe how bad it was compared to d.c. metro. For example: different heights between platform and train,no disabled facilities, cold , drafty, old trains,broken down escalators.:doh: :doh: :doh: Have any of you visited london if so what are your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CounterTrey Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 That cause BTW is a hundred years older...Please there no comparison to DC metro..The London Underground is far more expansive than the DC Metro could ever be...yes its older, has different hieghts, but that no big deal...I rode the newer trains they have now too which are quite nice :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I remember the Underground, but I don't really recall anything that wrong with it. Of course the DC Metro is much better, but the Tube is way more convenient (larger). The biggest thing I remember is the chick constantly saying "Mind the gap!" :laugh: Always makes me laugh.

Barney B Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yeah, I feel the same way when I'm on the NYC subway. It's all about the age. Incidentally, when I'm on the metro in Los Angeles or BART in San Francisco, I feel right at home, since these subway systems were modeled after the DC Metro, as were many others around the globe. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
england Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 glad to have your opinion on this as my wife and i were ashamed of the underground when the chick as jrockster77 puts it says mind the gap i thought more like mind the sheer drop if your a child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I liked the Tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 The BART is awesome. I know they are thinking of extending it all the way out to Sacramento, which would be sweet as I could ride it all the way to Oakland for the A's games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
