Wish I had been there to see and smell it.


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.
Bit of a risk if you are coming from afar, Most of it will be
Underground after all and it's a fair bet that there will have to be
crowd control at stations. Even if you can find a spot where you can
peer over a wall or can get access to a building that overlooks an
open section it will be dark by the time it runs .
