BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Tube ski stunt blasted by bosses A man who skied down the longest escalator on London Underground has been condemned as "stupid and irresponsible" by transport officials. He launched himself down the 196ft (60m) escalator at Angel Tube station and filmed the stunt. The unidentified man then posted it on the YouTube video sharing website where it has received more than 100,000 hits. Transport for London (TfL) urged police to take the "strongest possible action" against any similar offenders. A Tfl spokesman said: "This is a dangerous, stupid and irresponsible act that could have resulted in serious injury or death to not only the individual concerned, but other passengers."

2pints-mate 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 "They have either given up or everyone has got faster." Well it is good to hear (or not hear) about patrol problems. I know when we have been in Japan we have never really noticed them. Link to post Share on other sites
