Circle Line Party


"The plan is simple, get a bunch of people and some music onto the train. Have a party whilst the train is in the tunnel, and everyone pretend to be innocent as we pull into the stations."

This sounds awfully like what happens on the last carriage of the Bakerloo tube train in Geoff Ryman's Two Five Three, except that, presumably, Anne Frank was not present at the meatspace party... --TL I immediately thought of this and was of course wrongwrongwrong -- <http://www.circleline.com/> --SDN Mind you, the idea of making a complete orbit of Manhattan to the hottest choons going would definitely pull in some punters... :) --TL

God I couldn't think of anything worse than a Circle Line train, most of them are rather heavily vandalised and grotty. I suppose they're bigger than most perhaps. Now a party on, say, the Central or Piccadilly woule be more amusing for onlookers. -- LR

This is true. However, the circle line does have the unique advantage of going round in a circle, so the party can continue indefinitely. Trains on the other lines do go back and forth, though, but it seems likely that going through Gants Hill and beyond would put a damper on things (although there would be an opportunity to cheese it up Skool Disco style at Grange Hill).

But it would look rather cool going across the M25 bridge at Theydon Bois :-) [LR]
