      Reminds me of the old Maxis game A-Train that I used to play as a kid, quite soothing just watching the trains go about their business

        Also check out the following map showing the location of platforms at the stations; help identify the best places to change trains:

        By the way, has anyone riden the "Kennington Loop"?
        This is where you stay on a terminating southbound Charing-Cross-branch Northern line train at Kennington. It carries on south and goes around a tight loop leading you back into the station to form a new northbound service on the same branch. A geeky delight - I did it yesterday.

          Don't they check the train first?

          I want to do the DLR train at bank where you go in and out of station - but they always check the train first.

            I think they're supposed to check, but they get lazy. Just keep a low profile.
            I am led to believe the loop is haunted...
