No Weekend Engineering Works
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2010/06/28/no-weekend-engineering-works
Such is the routine nature of weekend engineering works ruining any prospect of going out around London on the public transport system that when they have a rare weekend without any engineering works on this particular line, National Express to Liverpool Street Station, they need to make a poster about it in order to remind people that there might just be some transport available. Otherwise everybody would just assume that weekend trips are more trouble than they are worth and stay at home. weekend engineering works Of course once you get into Liverpool St Station on one of these rare weekend trains, there’s no guarantee that the onward journey will be as smooth. The Circle line, District and Hammersmith and City lines are likely to be severely disrupted or not running at all so that leaves the Central Line or “London Sauna” as better described.

Oystercard PAYG On Main Line Rail in London
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2010/02/03/oystercard-payg-on-main-line-rail-in-london
Oystercard On Mainline Rail at last Originally uploaded by AndyRob
At last, since 3rd January 2010 we now have the Oystercard Pay As You Go machines installed and working on all main line railway stations in London. This means it’s no longer necessary to make the advance guessing calculation as to whether it’s better to buy a return rail ticket into Liverpool Street station plus a possible two bus or tube journeys, or buy the one day off peak travelcard. Single journeys are taken off the Oystercard at £2.30 a go, and then the whole days journeys are capped at the rate of a travelcard if you do make that many journeys in total. It’s nice because the range of Transport for London extends right out to Romford as well. The only disadvantage is that the Oystercard now needs topping up more often, but the railway station near where I live has no facilities to do this yet! So it’s a walk across the road to a local newsagents or else remember to top up when I’m out somewhere at a tube station, London Overground, or where the newsagent is right next to the bus stop.

Flashmobs Going Mainstream
http://distributedresearch.net/blog/2009/01/19/flashmobs-going-mainstream
Flashmobs and unexpected performances in the mainstream Simulated Flashmobs and unexpected performances are springing up all over the place. You can hardly venture out on a journey through any of London’s main transport hubs without being hijacked by a troupe of dancers, pillowfighters or Musical Theatre performers. The aim of most of these stunts is to generate buzz, particularly through youTube, which if done subtly and with a bit of luck can reach millions of consumers for a fraction the price of mainstream advertising. At least that was the theory, but T-mobile are currently running an expensive campaign on TV which shows full length video from the Liverpool Street Station event last Thursday. With clips of bystanders reactions mixed in with professional dancers emerging from the crowd, it’s very difficult to judge just much of it was precisely staged and how much is genuine spontaneity. I’m not going to embed the actual advertisement itself here, you can find it easily on youtube but here are some genuine punters interviewed after the event:
So now I’ve just been alerted by Hermione on Twitter to a smaller musical video made in Stansted Airport:
This one is for Lastminute.com and asks “When did you last go to the Theatre?” which is a question close to my heart as you may know already. I’m off to see Phantom of The Opera next week.
