Quake-like tunnel scenarios. The London Underground was originally designed to allow through running from the mainline railways to stations more convenient for central London than the mainline termini, which were very much on the outskirts of the London of the time. There are several connections between the two systems, and the "suburbs" end of several Underground routes is reached over main line track, so Underground drivers on such routes have to know two sets of operating rules, Underground rules and national rules. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
