Wish I had been there to see and smell it.

Fantastic. I am amazed that today's 'elfin safety' permitted it.
Whilst years of acute discomfort associated with the Paddington -
Westminster section of the Circle during the rush hour cured me of any
affection for the tube I too would love to see it.

According to the article all the tickets for the January runs have
been sold but I may just risk a trip to London just to see it.
