Simply brilliant. A great read to start the day.
Well, quite. It is impossible to imagine any advertising or product placement being permitted in an American television programme.
Last paragraph says it all. TfL is strapped for cash and will seemingly take money from any source. What price pride in its heritage?
Can we expect an appearance by the evil Inspector Sands?
Also available on utube.
Next stop: Canary Worf.

Given the amount of people with Amazon Prime, Mr Bozos' PR people would probably object to the statement that it is something "the vast majority of the population cannot access" though - BARB put it at almost 25% of households, and a Mintel report claimed 4/10 Brits had access to Prime in some form; more than I initially thought.
Calling it: naming rights deal for Bond Street when No Time To Die releases (which would be a whole lot more lucrative if Crossrail was open, but oh well)
“ The Central line timetable is a global sensation...” So glad you avoided hyperbole ;)

I’d have enjoyed the story more with Klingon subtitles.
Special guest appearance by Notting Hill Gates McFadden as Dr Bethnalgreen Crusher.
If the commercialisation of TfL results in more posts like this, then I say 'make it so!'
I'll beam down, but only if 7of9 makes an appearance. Then I shall engage warp-factor 7.9...and go to RedAlert!
I've just spent the last 20 minutes again working out how to cancel Amazon prime, which I never asked for, and never wanted, but get given if I ever order anything from them.
Fairlop Quadrant rebel leader, Red Bridge has been hit with an injunction (just north of Leytonstone) to prevent revealing this may become a permanent feature of the Central Line as it keeps trains in Central London at almost no cost while suburbanites suffer.

His Greenford Galaxy comrade Peri Vale has not been seen for some time and may be under house arrest in the dreaded British Museum limited entry siding stockade.

Thanks, DG for putting it all in perspective.
As a disabled person who lives in a very rural area I couldn’t manage without Amazon Prime
Meanwhile the spinoff Star Tube: The Northern Line stars Brent Cross Spiner as Lt. Colindaler Data. The character of Morden will appear in a crossover with Balhamylon 5.
I enjoyed this.

Particularly "Fairlop quadrant"

Without wishing to be pedantic or unfair

"a skewed collection of TV shows and movies the vast majority of the population cannot access."

The vast majority of the population can access it, they just have to pay for it, so this was probably the only bit of today's post that didn't quite land as a criticism.
I particularly liked the "Head of Customer Manipulation" reference.

On a similar theme, when passing through Piccadilly Circus yesterday, I noted it had been "renamed" Picardilly Circus, apparently another Amazon publicity stunt. This sort of rebranding somehow seems wrong but have to admit if it does raise money for the TFL coffers then I grudgingly have to accept it's no bad thing

And of course the Central Line is full of black holes.
Apparently the theme tune is by Austrian composer Ganz Zill.
For several years I have enjoyed the daily "DG" posting for its well-researched exploration of the finer
aspects of London's geography and transport modes.
Today was different, just stupid, stupid, stupid, and meaningless.
After today you have one less daily reader (not that you will care).
What a curious comment, to stop reading a blog you have enjoyed on every previous day just because you don't understand one post.

Not being a Trekkie myself (nor having been on the Tube for years now), much of it went over my head, but I still found pleny of funnies, in particular how many Central Line stations can be turned into names for film producers.

I say keep up the variety!
WHOOSH! The sound of something extremely clevr, expertley written and beautifully amusing, and it goes straight over you head. Cheerio!
Loving all the Star Trek and Central Line references but does the word Ferengi supposed to mean something?
I am left cold by all things Star Trek, but even I know who (or should that be what) the Farengi are. Like the Klingons and the Romulans, but funnier and with bigger ears.

Will scale models of the USS Barkingside be available? Not for me of course, but I'm sure my lad would love one.
While I applaud the initiative in principle, as a Jubilee line user this gives me cause for concern over major abstraction of customers from silver to red as a result of the huge publicity, with potentialy grave consequences.

I therefore call on TfL to bring forward Jubilee WTT16 which has a far stronger message of up to two (2) additional trains per hour (tph) and will benefit droves. And how many know that the entire fleet has just been refurbished, with new seat covers, brighter interiors and snazzy zigzags on the doors? Not many I'll vouchsafe. And our Bond Street rebuild is complete, unlike some I could mention.

Please donate generously at strabismus.net/crowdfund to kick-start a properly worthy promotion!
For DS9 fans why not visit Seven Siskos, Miles End, Earl's Quark or Romford?
Pretty sure I know Chancer Elaine.
All that is now needed is a new set of words to "I am the Music Man" (arranged to an update tune) and everything needed for the transformation will be complete.

Oh and a replacement sent of safety announcements for the station (including digitally rearranging the "heritage" Mind the Gap at Embankment)
So are there any similar ads at Spockfosters?
The blog cannae take any more satire, Cap'n.
I read this a couple of days before I found out about the Picardilly Circus stunt and now it makes much more sense. Nice work.
