CTW Members Nick G Posted June 4, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted June 4, 2003 Here's a copy of an email i received today .... have a read SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN TO KEEP THE LONDON UNDERGROUND OPEN LATER!! London is an amazing city. A city of culture, history and diversity. A city with a mayor who collects newts. A city with a huge Ferris wheel. A city where the clubs and bars stay open 'til three at the weekend... But a city that's an absolute nightmare to get home from after midnight. Every weekend millions of us are forced to either go home early or face the prospect of a torturously slow journey on a night bus full of barking loons. Or pay a fortune for a cab which "ain't going south (or north) this late". And all because the Underground system in this amazing 24-hour city of ours shuts down just after midnight. Even at weekends. It's insane. But it doesn't have to be like that. We pay for the Underground system with our tickets and taxes and so there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't operate on our terms. We're creating a petition to be sent to both The Mayor and Transport For London - the two bodies who together control London Underground - demanding that the Tube be kept running until at least 3am on Friday and Saturday nights. If enough people sign the petition - we reckon 100,000 should do it - then Ken and Co will be forced to sit up and take notice. Not least because there are Mayoral elections next year and this is a guaranteed vote winner. So what are you waiting for? The petition is at... http://www.londonbylondon.co.uk/latetube Please take a few seconds to add your name - and tell everyone you know to do the same (just forward them this email). Your city will thank you; your friends will thank you; even barking loons on night buses will thank you. But you won't be able to hear them. Because you'll be underground. Perfect. Thanks for your support! The Late Tube Petition http://www.londonbylondon.co.uk/latetube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Admin James Posted June 4, 2003 CTW Admin Share Posted June 4, 2003 agreed! London really needs to sort it life out if its going to become the hardhouse capital of the world ! lol seriously though, London pees me off big time as i'm only just getting into it at 11/12 far too many un-licensed taxi drivers as well - i wouldnt mind but they charge the same or MORE than licensed ones! We need tut-tuts like Thailand! Quote James@ClubTheWorld.uk CTW Admin | ClubTheWorld.uk | Twitter | Instagram Clubbing the world, together ...

CTW Promotors CreamyC Posted June 5, 2003 CTW Promotors Share Posted June 5, 2003 Waste of time, it wont ever happen because maintenance has to be carried out nightly for 4 hours, its bad enough as it is with the bloody midnight work, imagine how [censored] it would be without that. I've signed it though because you just never know when we may need the tunnels to shelter from Osama Bin Liner.

CTW Members IcicleSecret Posted June 7, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hey all, I'm a funky house queen (sometimes) who's only been on this site about four times (I'm counting!), but am a little drunk and like websites when I'm tipsy and had far too much red bull to sleep! I got this email about tube times marlaky, and it's very rare I agree with forwards bollocks, but I agree with this one. If New York can manage to get its mantainance done during the week, then there is no reason why London can't! Aren't we supposed to be leaders, not followers in London? Sign it all you clubbers out there - and get us a chance to get home safely (not just us girlys, have you boys heard about the last train on the northern line??????) 3pm is perfect!! Hope you've all had a good friday all ;o) I have, but I miss my blokey (is that gimpy. girlys is that allowed??) Night! Vic xxx Quote It's Rock and Roll... it's supposed to be fun!
