Hurrah! I’m in trainspotter heaven tonight, as BBC Four shows a whole night of programmes about the London Underground! Loads of excellent stuff, and also Underground Ernie (the poor man’s Thomas the Tank Engine, surely?) which appears to be there purely to plug CBeebies.
Why stop at just London, though? I think BBC Four should go around all the nation’s mass transit systems, dedicating a night to each of them: Subway Sunday, Merseyrail Monday, Tyne and Wear Metro Tuesday, Metrolink… er, Wednesday, Tramlink Thursday and Supertram Saturday.
And on Friday… they’re on strike.
