The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that it now appears as 'under construction' on the tube map:<br><br>http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.pdf<br><br>So we have 'Emirates' repeated in various places on the map and key.  Commercialisation, grumble grumble.<br>

Looks tidy. Having spent many holidays in the mountains of Europe, i've never understood why we don't utilise this transport more. Its very quiet, can be very green (and even energy neutral) and can be cro-barred into spaces that you couldn't build a road/train track. Plus.....great views. Any suggestions on routes?

@Brodiej Ferme Park Road and Crouch Hill - Would make the drunken roll home to/from CE that little bit easier!

Arkady

Rumour (and I stress, rumour) has it that if this route proves a success they will look at other routes, including an extension of the current system from Greenwich to Canary Wharf.  Another mooted possibility is one between Kings Cross and Waterloo (down the Kingsway, etc) to replace the cancelled Cross-River Tram.<br>

<P>"having spent many holidays in the mountains of europe"</P> <P>Posh !</P> <P>carry on</P>

kreuzkav

<p>And I thought I was just poking fun when I suggested that the main runners on here were ski holiday people.  </p><p>It's real.  I guess if you can afford to go to Seasons you can afford a ski holiday.</p>

chrisn4

<P>P.O.S.H - Port, Out, Starboard, Home.....ah the good old days of the british empire...posh days but good days... </P> <P>calm down kreuzkav...season of good will to all men ...or somefink</P> <P>carry on</P>

kreuzkav

<p>Season of goodwill, where I work no christmas party.  </p><p> </p><p>Season of goodwill, share the fucking money please, ho ho ho.</p><p> </p><p>The won't</p>

Brodiej

Sorry there was a mountain on my holidays guys, you will also find them in Scotland (also in europe and the UK) where it costs more to visit than mainland Europe. No skiing on my European trips, but yes i did visit some mountain resorts during the summer for which im sorry. Being considered posh isn't the worst thing you could say. Supporting London based premiership clubs would suggest that you have more money than me!<div> <div>As for you Kreuzkav, name dropping Berlin every 10 mins you're a f*cking hipster.....you're worse than anyone! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Yeah yeah, in Berlin this one time, i owned a bar, i wore a christmas sweater, i managed a band they were ironically shit.......they were actually shit. Yeah, it was fucking cool. Now i just hate noise. F*ck the suger lounge :-).</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry, i enjoy our banter. I hope you see it as such. It brings out my creative side.</div><div><br></div><div>No xmas do for me either. True story.....new millionaire boss found an employee praying on the job (a muslim) and had shut the shop to do so....new boss had turned up unannounced, sees praying muslim in closed shop behind window, gets massive case of rage and cancels national xmas party because "if he doesn't think its xmas time, and people want to shop than neither do i". This man has his own wikipedia page by the way. Employee kept his job but thinks twice about praying on the job now.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

kreuzkav

Berlin?  where did that come from?

Brodiej

Pretty sure you said you lived there

kreuzkav

<p>Go wear your sweater over shirt and worship the man.  Go skiiing to your melting slopes.  Don't winge if an avalanche happens and wipes out all the  aspriing middle class and rich kids.  </p>

kreuzkav

<p>You're pretty sure I said I lived in Berlin.  </p><p> </p><p>And I mention it every ten minutes.  Please put a search with my name in it.  I'm sure you will find I don't mention it every ten minutes.  I did live there, but have mentioned it maybe twice.</p><p>I agree part of Berlin has scenesters, like Shoreditch and Dalsto, but most of it is fine. Great city.</p>

Brodiej

Ha ha. What a dick.<div>See ya</div><div><br></div>

kreuzkav

I lived in Paris, Amsterdam, Tokyo and New York too!

kreuzkav

And London and Dublin.

kreuzkav

London is where I was born but it's the worst city for class.  My hometown, I need to move again.  Full of toffs.  Even Stroud Green!

kreuzkav

The skiing set are the worst.  What's with that guy who walks down SGR in riding gear.  I always think he's Arkady.  I imagine that or him in some cape and pointed hat.

chrisn4

<P>yes but what about the cable car?</P>

This thread is everything that's wrong with this site. I wish I knew what to do about it.

Arkady

Tell Kreuzkav that if he doesn't keep his ignorant, spiteful hatred out of every thread then he'll be banned. The end.<br>

andy

it might be a good idea to write a script that doesn't allow posting between midnight and 6am

miss annie

If you could build in a remote breathalysing device it would probably do the trick.

Brodiej

Yes perhaps, i took the bait and the battle ensued. I feel bad now though, it was originally a discussion about cable cars! Far more interesting. I'll try and get it back on track... Good routes 1. Would anyone consider one on Hampstead Heath a travesty? Just might be nice, like taking a silent journey through the countryside. 2. Canary Wharf to Square Mile 3. Finsbury Park to Victoria Park 4. Something along the Regents Canal

"If you could build in a remote breathalysing device it would probably do the trick."<br><br>Anyone who could do that would make a fortune. I'd get one installed on my phone to stop the drunk texting ...<br><br>Back to the cable car - I think it's great. There should be more .<br>

@Andy - can the script work like an ASBO and only curfew repeat offenders? <br>
