Poll 4 - London Underground

So, I've worked out a plan - I'll do political polls every other day, with some light topics to balance it out

Today: The famous London Underground. It's more influential than you think. Even its map has inspired the designs of many other city transit maps.

As for the other polls:

American Politics - Joe Biden victory

Social Media - Discord, Instagram, Reddit tied

British Politics - Labour ahead

Follow me to receive more polls and reblog to increase turnout!

A Bakerloo Line underground train

Is it particularly sad and tragic to have a favourite London underground train because, I have to confess, my personal favourite is the Bakerloo Line? Travelling on the Bakerloo Line feels like a real step back in time with the carriage’s brown colouring, saggy seats and curved partitioning. Hardly surprising as the trains on the Bakerloo Line are now over 50 years old!

This photo was originally posted to my blog, An Every Day Thing. Given the historical nature of this carriage and its aesthetically appealing curves, as an object of beauty, I considered posting it to Sometimes London. However, it is still also just a grubby underground train for commuters so I decided it is probably somewhat urban and therefore belongs on London Edge.

It’s a shame the photograph is in black and white, but at least it exists, and it’s not locked away in the archive.

Life without the London Underground.

Life without the London Underground would have a significant impact on the daily routines and transportation system in London. The Underground is one of the busiest transportation systems in the world and is used by millions of people every day to travel to work, school, and other destinations.

Without the Underground, commuters would have to rely on other modes of transportation such as buses, taxis, or bicycles. This would likely result in increased traffic congestion, longer travel times, and more pollution. It would also require significant investment in new transportation infrastructure to accommodate the increased demand.

The lack of the Underground would also impact London's economy, as many businesses rely on the easy access provided by the Tube to attract customers and employees. Without the Underground, some businesses might struggle to attract customers, and employees might face longer commutes or higher transportation costs.

Finally, the cultural and social impact of the Underground cannot be overstated. The Tube is not only a transportation system, but also a cultural icon that has been featured in literature, music, and film. It is a symbol of London and its people, and its absence would undoubtedly be felt by both locals and tourists alike.

In conclusion, life without the London Underground would be challenging and would require significant changes to London's transportation and infrastructure systems. It is difficult to imagine London without the Tube, as it has become an integral part of the city's identity and culture.
