Anyone else spotted these strange creatures on the tube? They seem to come out after heavy rain londonist.com/london/transpo…

King Charles's first tube station was Charing Cross (called Trafalgar Sq at the time). He visited incognito age 6 and spent 30 mins trainspotting londonist.com/london/history…
This sounds amazing. A 15-mile charity walk following the Elizabeth line, to raise money for vulnerable children's charity @RailwayChildren. Do it! railaid.co.uk/elizabeth-line…
Hello. I haven't tweeted in YEARS. Talk about Mind the Gap. Anyway, if anyone's still following... here's my roundel of the day, from the entrance to the Archway Tavern
My roundel of the week belongs to Compassion London, who are doing sterling work preparing and distributing quality food to London's most vulnerable. Support them here -> compassion.london

A detailed illustration demonstrating which services non key workers can use from @geofftech londonist.com/london/transpo…
Missing @ltmuseum? Many of its star attractions can be browsed online here, including posters, moquettes, photos and maps -> artsandculture.google.com/pa…
It's not a TfL service, but it's bloody useful (when things are normal).
Put Thameslink on the tube map says London Assembly
ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2020/03…
A report on improving accessibility on London's Transport services has called for the fully accessible Thameslink line to be on the Tube map as a matter of some urgency.
Pretty soon, there may be no tube station that doesn't share any of its letters with 'mackerel'. (If you know what I mean.) londonist.com/london/transpo…
Mystery station time again. Which tube stop am I stood outside here? (Though obviously, I'm not really stood there, because I'm isolated at home.)
Ever wonder about this fellow at East Finchley? Here's the history londonist.com/london/transpo…
Who would win in a fight between the tube, and Boston's MBTA transit system? londonist.com/london/transpo…
Mystery tube station, cropped from Google Street View time again. This week, it's a well-used station, but not a familiar angle. Where?
Which royals have ridden the tube? HM for one... she took a ride aged 13, in secret, with Princess Margaret londonist.com/london/transpo…
Roundel of the Week time... and an easy choice this week, with TfL's temporary roundels celebrating International Women's Day. Full details here -> londonist.com/london/transpo… #IWD2020
Here's a question: how many times does Queen Victoria appear on the tube map, directly or indirectly. I reckon I've found seven references to Her Majesty. Can you work them out (or add more)? #IWD2020
Another favourite tube clock. This one's at Hammersmith, as you may have guessed based on the colour choices
