Three mistakes there Kevin:

The time is 2:55am, not 12:55am.

Since that's after midnight, it's actually on Monday 19th, not Sunday 18th.

The current year is 2007.

Oh well I did post in rather a hurry, actualy 2000 is not representative of the year but the start time of 2000hrs.......

Enjoying it so far although seen Metroland with Betjeman before and was quite boring.....

Not sure if the programme at 1255hrs is tube related and after that I am guessing that the Arena is a repeat of the earlier one :?

So how many mistakes now Young Starkey :wink:

I found the documentary on Angel station most interesting...filmed in 1989 this was before the station was modernised.. I don't know if anyone on the forum had the dubious pleasure of using Angel prior to improvements :shock:

The platform was centrally located, very narrow and very busy at peak times.. Looks a serious health and safety hazard I would say...

The lifts were continually breaking down and passengers having to use a very long spiral staircase which even young starkey would struggle to run up :wink:

Would be interested to hear from anyone that used Angel in the past...
