Deeply Interesting (or nerdy) Links
Here are three really cool sites about the London Underground. I am generally fascinated about the tube, so these make good reading:
www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/ - this site is all about disused or 'ghost' stations on the tube, stations you've never heard of like York Road, Bull and Bush and Northern Heights.
london-underground.blogspot.com/ - this is the well known blog of Annie Mole, a tube commuter with a big audience and a wide range of tube related blogging.
www.geofftech.co.uk/tubechallenge/ - The Tube Challenge, travel round all 275 stations on the London Underground in the fastest time possible. Could be a bit dull, eh?
www.animalsontheunderground.com/ - this is nice and in the vain of Poetry on the Tube. Funny pictures of animals found within the tube map. Not about the various wildlife found amongst the tracks, as I'd hoped.
Enough of the Tube sites.
www.publiclettering.org.uk - This site is unbelievably interesting if you are me, which obviously you are not. It is about Public Lettering and takes you on a tour through London pointing outs lots of interesting facts about lettering and everyday things you just don't consider. Really well coded and beautifully laid out site too!
www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/ - And this is a spooky as hell site, about a motorcyclist driving around the highly irradiated area of Chernobyl. Very scary but absolutely fascinating. Really well written. (Hat tip LargeHeartedBoy)
