Subways of the world, to scale

Well, out of two days i've visited London i had the pleasure to walk one station (and because of the elevator being overrun by people, i took the stairs.. the thing i've learned was that the London underground can be quite deep in the ground, it felt like kilometers :P ).

Taking the stairs is a mistake you only make once :)

There's a very strongly worded sign at Covent Garden station, telling people that it really is faster to wait for a lift. But I often see tourists making their way up the stairs.

Haha, yes. I've seen such a sign ("Emergency stairs, don't use!") but well.. it was soo crowded and so many people took the stairs i thought it may be a good idea (at first) :)
