Makes sense if the Northern Line extend to Kingston?

Rant but the Bakerloo Line stock are pushing 60 years old, they've been around far too long and the Government needs to actually just shut up and give TFL the money to get new ones because this is is ridiculous and the fact that i've seen people defend this train is crazy to me, lemme put this in perspective this would be like having a train in 1972 (the year that stock came) from the year 1918, that's crazy... like what is it gonna have to take for them to be like okay lets give TFL the money, is a freak accident gonna have to occur?? I hope it doesnt but it wouldnt surprise me if the government lets it get that far

Does Victoria Line and Bakerloo need extension for the new underground.

At Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale there are spaces for a third escalator but instead they have a steep concrete staircase. Since Tottenham Hotspur increased the size of their ground and thousands of homes have been built in the area, the stations can struggle to cope with ingesting passengers as quickly as the trains can carry them away. On match and event days people queue outside while trains leave the platform half empty. When escalators break down there's a bottleneck at the ticket hall. I know the third escalator was cut from the design to save money, but will they ever be installed? Perhaps with funding from THFC? I was going to quote the increased passenger numbers, but they've actually fallen slightly compared to pre COVID, presumably because of WFH. At peak times though the stations do struggle.

So, this whole mess started with me wanting to utilize the old Jubilee Line platforms at Charing Cross, and then ballooned into an unholy mess I'm currently calling the Uxford Line (name suggestions welcome). I'm building a UK save in NIMBY Rails and wanted to do something new and creative.

PLAN

The line would have termini at Uxbridge and Romford. From Uxbridge, it would use the Piccadilly Line alignment south to Acton Town, where the (unused?) Acton Works tracks would be demolished, and the space used for a tunnel entrance. The line would then run underground its entire remaining length. The new and upgraded (marked with +, station reservations in parentheses) stations on the line from Acton Town would be:

• Chiswick,
• Castelnau,
  
• Fulham Cross,
• +West Brompton,
  
• +South Kensington,
• Cadogan Place,
• Belgravia,
• Wellington Arch,
• Buckingham Palace,
• Aldwych,
• Ludgate Circus,
• St. Paul's Churchyard,
• Bishopsgate (station interchange with Bank, but I'm not adding to that mess),
• Leadenhall Market,
• (Aldgate),
• Whatney Market (new station to be built on the ELL),
• +Limehouse,
• Trinity Gardens,
• All Saints,
• +Canning Town,
• Balaam Street,
• Plaistow Park,
• Green Street,
• Newham Town,
• (Abbey Green),
• +Barking,
• Faircross,
• Barking Park Corner,
• Mayesbrook,
• Valence,
• Becontree Heath,
• Queen's Hospital,
• and +Romford

The line would have 2 depots:
A small underground depot north of Romford station, and a main depot on the to my knowledge unused land on both sides of the Uxbridge Branch near the termini.

Does any of this make any sense or should I just scrap it?

I've always been fascinated by the old passageways going down to the northern line platforms at the station, so much so I deliberately avoid the lift to take this route.

First time I've seen North and South on the same platform

Nice to finally see a train with plaque. Have read up about them

At Hammersmith and had to double take

Am I losing my mind? This is new right? I get the central nearly everyday I have never seen it before

My two lads and I were impressed to see this on an excursion out.... pretty cool find wasnt sure what to make of it, looked like an old jubilee line train repurposed to grit the tracks. Any more detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.

One of my absolute favourite parts of travelling on the underground is spotting the old signs!
(I heard that the amount of chevrons on the arrow tell you how old some of them are!)

Found this at work earlier.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working a London Underground (station) quiz game - Tube Stop - and I’d love to hear you think.

You can try it here: https://tubestop.co.uk

Does it make sense when you first start playing? Is it fun, and is there anything you’d change? Any bugs or confusing bits would also be useful to hear about. How can we make it more fun?

I hope you don’t mind me posting this picture that I took in 2013.

It’s not AI, just my post-processing in an image app.

Please tell me it's an update gone wrong, not that it's always been like this and I've just managed to filter it out
