#TheTube
@tinker @mattblaze My photo of Notting Hill Gate Station, London, January 2000.
I went on the #ElizabethLine for the first time today. Here’s the platform at #Paddington, looking a little bit #Tardis-like, I thought, what with the roundels.

It's a very long time since I've lived in London, but I'm astounded by how few underground stations I can name off the top of my head

📺 “Woodside Park's Delightful Station” … and it’s equally delightful to see a deep dive into the tube station I’ve used since I was 1 year old! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZK_MZpUAbc

Sloopy lives on
in a very busy part of #TheTube
& everybody, yeah
tries to treat her
like she's some kinda #newb
Sloopy, I don't care
if the trolls try to put you down
Cuz Sloopy can tell you
#TheMcCoys
have the best gig in town
The Vibrations were the 1st
to record Berns & Farrell's tune
The #Yardbirds version
really made all the boppers swoon
Even the #DC5
Then BANG!
Rick and the Raiders?

I had a bunch of photos from my last trip to London, and attempted to cobble them together into this photo-essay which touches on some London transport history. Disused stations, the Northern Heights project, the Isle of Wight. It's all there.
There's even a Canada connection too…

The number of tube trains in London is more than double that of any other English city.

I don’t often give #YouTube links, but really – apart from the low res – what’s not to like about this #KateBush clip introduced by #JoolsHolland and #PaulaYates from #TheTube in its prime:
📺 “Round Arnos Grove” – Posting as Arnos Grove is one of my favourite tube stations (architecturally speaking). Probably it goes with Southgate for this branch of the Piccadilly Line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at41e8W4GwM
After admiring it from a distance as I roll past on the Metropolitan line at 50mph, I finally stopped by Kilburn Station (between rain showers!) to photograph this beautiful, young ‘prunus mume’ specimen on the platform in its late stages of bloom. 🌸
Not many unopened buds left; the plum blossom in bloom will likely shed their petals in a few days.
Big ‘mujō’ [#無常] vibes. 🥲

#TOTP with John Peel and Janice Long. Peelie's last appearance until 1995.
Lots of close-ups in the #BlowMonkeys performance, but the group seem to get lost on the huge stage.
#RandyCrawford a favourite of Steve Wright In The Afternoon. Not my bag, then or now.
"No bad language on this show", promises John, after #JoolsHolland referred to «groovy fuckers» on a live trailer just before the Friday show. Producers Peter McHugh and Royston Mayoh were fired from #TheTube.
Not so much @PoemsOnTheTube but poems about being on it. Though they do get a mention. I even remember when they started to appear in carriages!

I couldn’t resist snapping the man filming the woman waiting for the Tube

Le Métro de la mort (1972)
★☆☆☆
Un film d’horreur qui n’a d’horreur que sa lenteur, pour le reste, c’est vraiment décevant.

📺 "The Four Kinds of Underground Station" – I'm always fascinated when I learn something new about #thetube. In this instance, how #TfL categorise their stations. I wonder how this system would apply to Montreal's metro? #transit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pAkat8mc0Q
Put my TrainTrackr London Tube tracker in a frame and up on the wall, and it's officially the coolest thing I own. A bit of a bugger to photograph behind glass though.

Spaceship London Bridge (October 2017)

#music
El primer episodio del programa musical británico #TheTube, completo. Entre otras apariciones, incluía la última actuación en vivo en TV de la primera banda de #PaulWeller, #TheJam, disuelta oficialmente al final de aquel año (1982).

The studio was cold when this was taped, apparently.
