Is Lucas at Ealing Common?

A number of music videos are shot on the Tube, but sometimes they're only shot to appear that way and you'll find a lot of artistic licence is used as the bands move around.

Realaustinman sent me a link to Lucas With the Lid Off which at around 2 minutes into the video looks as though the band are getting on the Tube at Ealing Common


But are they really?

In the scenes after the one above inside the carriage, it's pretty hard to tell which line they're on.


Is it the District or the Piccadilly Line? Or is it not on the Tube system at all?

Sneak Preview of new Tube Map

There's a new Tube map out on the 11th November and a number of people have mentioned to me that there's already a sneak preview of it doing the rounds. It was actually accidentally put up on TfL's site on the 29th October for a couple of hours and then taken down.


A new blog from the BBC commented on complexity of the system asking whether it's now too complex to map properly.

It's amazing how crowded the new map now looks. Admittedly there are a number of new stations like the re-opening of Wood Lane and the new Terminal 5 Station at Heathrow. But why do they continue to show Shoreditch even with a line through it? Any other thoughts and comments welcome.
