Guys, I just got a good idea. I am going to create a London Transportation System, the idea gotten from my trip to London this summer, and the complex way to get from Bond Street to Knightsbridge ( :P ). Anyways, our first transit line is going to be a underground train, similar to the rest of London's local trains. It is going to be called the Circus line and is going to start operations between Bank Station and Paddington, via. Embankment, Charing Cross, Piccadilly Circus, Green Park, Bond Street, Baker Street, Marylebone Station and Edgware Road. The train is going to be run every 3-5 minutes, having a maximum of 20 trains per hour. The train is going to use London Underground S Stock. (http://en.wikipedia....rground_S_Stock) The trip from Bank to Paddington takes about 20-25 minutes. A Google Map of the stations is available here: http://maps.google.c...b3045276c&msa=0

Sure! No problem. I might find a way to have competition on this later.

The London Transportation System is now building new stations for use on future and present lines. We are building new stations in the following places:

-Harrow Park, to be used on the pending Rayners Lane-Bank Line (On the east(?) side of the park, near A404/Watford Road)
-Grosvenor Square, to be used on the Circus line between Green Park and Bond Street, also as an alternative to Bond Street Station (250m away)
-BBC Headquarters, to be used as another branch on the Continental Line, instead of Baker Street
-Royal Albert Hall, on Prince Consort Road, to be used on the Continental Line between Knightsbridge and Victoria and on the Court Line, between South Kensington and Knightsbridge
-London Zoo, in Regent's Park, to be used on the Circus Line between Baker Street and Marylebone
-City Hall, to be used on the City Branch of the Court Line.

We are also opening a new line called the Shuttle Line between Bank and Victoria, via. London Bridge, Waterloo and Embankment. The train will use London Underground S Stock (http://en.wikipedia....rground_S_Stock). The trip takes about 15 minutes.

Weekend closures on the London Underground Trains do not affect the London Transportation System. Passengers traveling between Bank and Waterloo on the Waterloo and City Line can take the Shuttle Line, or a reasonable route. Also passengers traveling between Earl's Court and West Brompton or Gunnersbury can take the Continental Line, using their Oyster Card or Underground tickets. The Cannon Street station is now closing weekends till mid-2012 due to maintenance, but Court Line trains are now using the National Rail platforms. Hammersmith Central Trains are skipping Farringdon Station due to closures at the station.

All trains this weekend are not affected by any closures.

The London Transportation System will like to warn customers of using Bond Street and Oxford Circus stations due to closures because of overpopulated stations. Please use alternative stations such as Marble Arch, a 10 minute walk away from Bond Street and a 15 minute walk away from Oxford Circus, or Tottenham Court Road, a 8-10 minute walk away from Oxford Circus, and transfer to the London Underground Central Line or Hammersmith Central Line to your destination or to alternative transfer stations. Farringdon Passengers can take a 8 minute walk to Barbican Station, to transfer to the Hammersmith Central Line. We apologize for all of the inconveniences this weekend.

The train operates through Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line Station), Marylebone, Baker Street, Great Portland Street, Warren Street, Euston Square, King's Cross/St. Pancras International, Angel, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Bethnal Green, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Shadwell, Tower Hill, Monument, Mansion House, Blackfriars, Temple, Charing Cross, Westminister, St. James Place, Victoria, Sloane Square, South Kensington, Gloucester Road, Earl's Court, Kensington (Olympia), High Street Kensington, Notting Hill Gate and Bayswater, before arriving again at Paddington Station. This is a loop line, running every 3-5 minutes, at a maximum of 18 trains per hour. The train will use London Underground S Stock (http://en.wikipedia....rground_S_Stock). The loop trip takes a total of about 1 hour.

-Starting July 23, there will be no service on the London Underground Circle and District Lines between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road. Replacement services will be operated by the Central Loop Line. Oyster Cards will be the only Transportation for London fares accepted. For access with your Oyster Card, visit our information desks located next to the ticket office. High Street Kensington will only be served by the Central Loop Line and the Hammersmith Central Line, and with the latter, the Hammersmith Central Line will only stop at High Street Kensington during peak hours.

The London Transportation System is going to possibly consider re-branding, to operate subway routes in the United States, as well as in other parts of the world. The LTS would then re-branded as The Continental Transportation System, having our world management base in London, located near King's Cross/St. Pancras International, and another smaller building, for our London Branch, located near Bank Station.

All Weekend closures are in effect. For future notice to customers traveling between Bank and Waterloo, there is no service on the London Underground Waterloo and City Line.
