Description
Russell Square subway station on the Piccadilly Line, London. Arriving train is westbound for 'Heathrow 1,2,3/5' (terminals),twenty five stations away.
While stuck in London I enjoyed the 'big city' feel, i.e. subways and double deck buses. The UK now is a member of the EU but has managed to keep its own currency and resisted the pressure from the EU to conform to their rules, hence double deck buses remain.
In Germany unfortunately they caved in and Berlin gave up their double deck buses.
Double deck buses provided much joy as I grew up in Berlin, either riding to school (very seldom), riding to work (in conjuction with a street car and/or subway), or joy riding (with a monthly pass one could ride as often as one wished).
This picture was taken on 20 December 2009.
Thank you for viewing, commenting, and favs,

A note about taking pictures. I kind of expected someone from stopping me taking pictures, but nobody did. Same at Heathrow, nobody stopped me from taking pictures. Same at Gare du Nord or Gare l'Est or Munich train stations. No problems.
When I tried to take poictures in Miami of a commuter train last year I was told it was not allowed.

Oh yeah I know it. I think it was near that kids playground Corams Fields from memory.
Nice shot of the incoming train, superb capture!!
That makes me semi-aggravated. Why pick on double-deck busses for crying out loud? You don't have to tell me...it'll just potentially stir me up. On the brighter side, this is a great picture of the "Tube" and I can sure see where the name comes from. This is the shape New York subways were originally built...except brick was used. Stranded in London. I'd have liked that!
Fantastic image!
Fantastic work.
The number of times I've stopped her or been through it! Lost COUNT! LOL OH! So many... Having lived in London and returned EVERY year at least once I tend not to get lost now.... Great shot... at least they still allow pictures on the tube! My Railway station, doesn't! Security... The fact you could stand on the nearby bridge and do the same, never occurs to the small minds! Great shot Rob

Cool shot. We were in London a week before the terrorist blew up the subway. It was a creepy feeling.
