They say the fire started in ** ****** station, so what do I know?

I removed the passengers so there could be spare seats

Are you absolutely certain we're on the Northern Line to Tufnell Park?

Good work everybody

Love that lightning Anna, and points for removing unwanted passengers.

HaHaHa!

I saw that a recent survey apparently showed that two thirds of Britons do not sympathise with the young man.

As for the 1987 fire it did take place in King's Cross. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Cross_fire

Frank that's wonderfully natural! Terrific.

Fun animations this week too.

Well done everybody. So little time to play now as I'm back at work.

Tried a little atmospheric perspective with this one. A trick David taught us many years ago. I wonder if he can remember?

Re: Challenge 937: Groovy underground
Michael, that is very, very clever of you to "open-up" the right-hand side like that; however, there is a fly-in-the-ointment here: the right-hand side platform is much higher than the left-hand side platform. Am I right or am I right?

I still want to know what that personal assistant is whispering in her bosses' ear!

Thanks Michael. Yes you are right. I spootted it very late in the day when I was well tired of reconditioning this very poor photograph and decided that my time was up.

Re: Challenge 937: Groovy underground
First to take the tube this week was lwc, with an animated scene through the windows. Some curious levitating motion going on there, Loyd. But I like the jiggling passengers – and good work keeping that man’s reflection.

A resonant (cough, cough) vintage scene from (cough) DavidMac, commemorating the days when everyone smoked on tube trains (although that was nothing to getting onto a Gauloise-filled Paris Metro). A great range of characters, artfully positioned. More smog needed? I’m not sure about Michael Sinclair’s comment that led to the second entry, though: the man’s striped trousers are no brighter than the white shirts in front of them.

I enjoyed GKB's homage to I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, with its appropriate view through the window. Glad to see my photoshop.london characters have been some use there - and has Humphrey Lyttleton been reduced to busking?

A fill train from Ben Boardman, with some curious characters – including not just Boris Johnson but politician-turned-train enthusiast Michael Portillo. I like the view of the adjacent train, and there Banksy on the ceiling.

A host of singers on their way to, er, Woodstock from Ant Snell, for what would have been the gig of the century. I like the assembly, and the view through the window, but is that a scrolling information sign just below the ceiling? In the 1970s?

Outstanding work from michael sinclair, the first to correctly replicate the moving tunnel seen from inside the train – and I like the occasional flash through a station, as well as the neatly removed passengers. Prince Harry jiggles appealingly, but for me the best feature is the jiggling of the next carriage. Splendid, Michael.

It’s a busy train for Frank, with a well-chosen cast of passengers. Good to see someone reading HotChiPs, although I was distracted by the man in the Union Jack underwear at the back.

I enjoyed GKB's Star Wars homage, with its battle scene curiously not attracting the interest of any of the passengers. Even the stormtrooper is curiously unmoved. But then I suppose once you’ve lived in London, you’ve seen everything. Nice work, Gordon.

A cosmic transformation from tooquilos, with stars both inside and outside the train. I really like the way the spectacular light show affects the colour of the interior. Odd seeing the train travelling sideways in the desert scene, though! The glass roof effect is particularly impressive.

A sad commuter from Mariner, who should really be gazing out at the splendid station outside the carriage – and, indeed, the cleaned-up roof. Creating the additional side of the carriage is a tour de force, and very expertly done. But as Michael Sinclair has pointed out: why is the platform on the right so much higher than the one on the left?

A smokey scene from dwindt, populated by some serious cool dudes. And they even have reflections! Nice work - but the train is still in the museum.

I couldn’t identify DavidMac’s mystery station, with its curious arched roof. But I know it wasn’t Michael Sinclair’s St Pancras.

Re: Challenge 937: Groovy underground
Thank you Steve I enjoyed that challenge. The other curious characters are from the films Murder on the Orient Express, Strangers on a Train, the Girl on the Train, and the Fat Controller from Thomas the Tank Engine.

Thanks Steve. I messed this one up. Sorry - ran out of patience / interest.

Thanks Steve. The video came about because I was doodling with some silly ideas and before I knew it the world was in dire peril😱
