Things I’d Like To Ask Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone
October 1, 2008
The London Underground is an embarrassment; one huge embarrassment. The trains are old and the tracks are even older, the signal system is outdated and breaks down all the time. The stations look shabby and the heat and stuffiness throughout most of the year are unbearable. Not to mention that some of the lines are in a state of constant repair and the trains just ground to a halt in the tunnels sometimes and stand there endlessly, with passengers feeling trapped in some dark abyss. Oh yes, and the whole tunnel system is infested with rodents. Imagine how pathetic all those large adverts look on the walls of stations and along the escalators. I am quite frankly amazed that any company would want to be associated with the London Underground. It is like some anti-advertisement, if you ask...
