including"ghsahhhhhhh, what a lovely way to while away a layover at a shiny but dull monochromatic airport......looking at colorful tube maps of yesteryear!

An elder techie colleague reminds me that back-when computers/storage devices had to be installed in long rows, the devices would get names of tube stations in the order of one of the longer London Underground lines...... which reminds me of a Brit Lit professor whose college required monthly computer password changes so she had a tube map in her desk drawer and just ticked off the next station name on the Picadilly Line.....including "ghost stations" would just be so brilliant!
