South Kensington station's escalator replacement project
To be honest, for me the most interesting part of the blog post was this one-liner "for an unbuilt high-speed District line service between South Kensington and Mansion House with just one stop at Embankment.".<p>As one of the millions who at some historical point in their lives has had to suffer the District line commute, the above is a thought I used to have regularly whilst stuck sniffing someone's armpit on the District line ... why can't they have non-stop services intermingled with normal traffic (just like in any other number of countries around the world).<p>They could have used the same rails, no need for a separate line (just like other countries around the world)... its a shame London Underground seemingly only considered the most expensive option (building separate tracks and tunnels for the non-stop).
