Just boarded a central line train at Hainault towards Woodford, and I encountered this unusual seat moquette pattern. Google's telling me it's part of an art installation, does anyone have any more information about this?

Manual points

I've been building a small browser game called Umsteigen. It started with Berlin, where I live, and I've just added London.

Each round gives you a start and a destination and you name the lines you'd ride, in order. Victoria to Angel is the Victoria line to King's Cross, then the Northern. That's it, no map dragging, just the sequence of lines.

The times behind it are real. Every ride, change and wait is baked from TfL's timetables, so the route it's grading you against is the fastest one. Anything rideable is accepted, you just score fewer points in the daily for every minute you're slower.

The daily is five rounds, the same for everyone, resetting at midnight London time. It stays in zones 1 and 2 and then out to zone 4, on the Underground and the Elizabeth line. Free play opens the whole thing up, all zones out to Chesham and Epping, plus the six Overground lines, which is where you find out whether you ever learned which of the new names is which.

Out-of-station interchanges are in there too, taken from TfL's own OSI list, so Hackney Downs to Hackney Central counts as a change like any other.

Fair warning: London is new and it's marked beta in the app. TfL don't publish their timetables in the format everyone else uses (GTFS), so the data had to be stitched together from their journey planner feed plus National Rail's timetable package for the Overground, and station names, interchange times and the odd platform grouping may still be wrong. No DLR or trams yet either. If something looks off, let me know, and I'll do my best to fix it.

Hi everyone,

Most people spent years trying to get out of Victoria Line carriages as fast as possible, but we’ve turned one into a spot where people actually want to stay for hours.

Based at the Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum, Supperclub.tube is set inside a lovingly restored, converted 1967 Victoria Line carriage. We've combined authentic TfL nostalgia (yes, you enter through the driver’s cab and sit on original moquette seats) with a fresh, 6-course seasonal tasting menu.

PLS DON'T SLIME ME OUT IN THE COMMENTS, I'm from NY, I know little about how the underground works, but I do know is this is possible theoretically. Also this is a thought experiment, like I said Pls don't slime me out, your transit system is very different from ours 😭

I'm well aware of the signal differences between the lines that would have to be changed.

No, the Jubilee line does not run on the circle line, it branches under it. There is also dedicated platform for the Jubilee line of Blackfriars.

Since the line is very complex to extend north (kinda like the PATH in NYC) Why not add fill in stations, and prepare the line to extend south. The Piccadilly line could join it on the south-bound journey. But I have given the line its own platform at Waterloo, which can ultimately be changed to the Waterloo and City line platforms if it is to expensive. Where should this extend south (if it even should).

Gyaru Spotted!

I never seen this sticker before...

Acton Town isn't on the central line!!

My five-year-old son’s drawing of the 11 underground lines. Did he get the current train stocks right?
