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.".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).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).
