Stupidity on London Overland Rail

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

This is an easy one to fix, but a problem that still plagues most of London’s overland rail stations (its a problem in lreland as well, but given we only have half a dozen railway tracks it hardly seems worth then while). The problem? Why can’t  I see what station I am in from every carriage on the train.

I’m forever craning and bending to see the two or possibly three signs posted in each station. If you are in the end carriage forget it, your missing your stop, end of story.

The underground fixed this problem years ago so lets not hear excuses like not possible, too expensive, no demand etc. etc….

Big Ed’s Easy Diner

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

Ed’s Easy Diner tucked behind the Palace Theater off Cambridge Circus is quite simply the best short order food on offer in the Northern Hemisphere. I ate here practically every weekend for about ten years when I lived in London and I went back yesterday to exactly the same service, quality and life renewing burgers I left behind 8 years ago.

Some things do not fade….
