Apparently they can make the seats an inch smaller and capacity can be increased to around 70,000 (if the council agree).

Then we should probably change the sponsor from Emirates to Ryanair.Quote:

Didn't we pay TfL £20m to upgrade a station and they instead just pocketed the cash and closed it on match-days?Quote:

Apparently not. https://tomhalltravel.com/2009/10/21...ral-escalator/Quote:

Would have thought this would have been right up Fash's street.
I know the first one, I think. Temple.Quote:

No idea on the second one but the dates suggest something to do with the war :-)
Hang on....... Arsenal was changed in 1932.......Quote:

I've been there loads as we often get off at Bastille and walk as opposed to changing platforms and going one stop to St Paul. If you look at the little map on the wiki page, we live fairly close to Pont Marie on the pink line, though we generally go to St Paul to get the tube as it's on Line 1 which is more useful.
Both cities have forts or churches built by the Knights Templar and both cities of course needed their own arsenals. Same might be true of other capitals.
But well done, P. Surprised Fash didn't know.
Brilliant question, that :-) Fascinating.Quote:
