Tom CantonHOST
So the Arsenal tube station has been forced to shut over concerns that it's sinking, uh, my London understands.
Tom CantonHOST
Transport for London confirmed the Piccadilly line stop near the Emirates Stadium was closed on Wednesday, September 30th, due to infrastructure damage within the station, and it is expected to remain shut throughout the weekend and into next week, affecting supporters ahead of Arsenal's match against Leeds United at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Tom CantonHOST
So if you're going to the game, you will need to use either Finsbury Park, Highbury and Islington, or of course, Holloway Road.
Tom CantonHOST
Although, be aware that Holloway Road does close, uh, within the hours closer to the stadium.
KazGUEST
I'm going to go home by train.
Josie LongHOST
David buys a ticket on the Piccadilly line and takes the tube home.
Josie LongHOST
the night sky over East London still glowing orange behind him.
KazGUEST
I don't think anybody lost their life in that, fortunately, but I think it was a really, really big fire that got completely out of hand.
Brendan WalkerHOST
The garden was no longer a place people worked in because they had to, but because they wanted to, and gardening became a national obsession.
speaker_10SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My grandfather was a fanatical gardener, and he had a little laboratory in the house where he used to do soil tests and stuff, and this was a guy who was a tr- a train driver on the Piccadilly line.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Chrysanthemums were the closest thing to pure, unalloyed pleasure that my dad ever had.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And in the late '50s he became the secretary of the Wanstead and Woodford Ch- Chrysanthemum Society, and I think that was probably the proudest moment of his life
Jordan TheresaHOST
Already, I'd been thinking a little bit about wanting to take it out, but on Friday was the first time that I vocalized it.
Jordan TheresaHOST
On Friday, I was walking, I remember I was changing from the Piccadilly line to the Jubilee line, and I was saying to my boyfriend, "You know, I think I wanna take it out." And then literally the next morning, I took it out.
Jordan TheresaHOST
I feel like this is me entering my late 20s.
Jordan TheresaHOST
I know I keep talking about that a lot, and we are gonna get onto that, but I took it out just as like a, "Oh, I wonder what it looks like without it," 'cause I literally have not taken this piercing out of my nose.
JonathanHOST
...
JonathanHOST
Piccadilly line.
ErikHOST
All right.
JonathanHOST
Piccadilly line.
JonathanHOST
And there's a return of a character we only saw last in, uh, Futureal, and it's the, um, kind of, uh, psychotic homeless person.
ErikHOST
Yeah, yeah.
OzHOST
And I...
OzHOST
It was literally, like, in, like, '03, '04 or something, and I always remember, like, loving the name 'cause it sounded like the Piccadilly line.
OzHOST
And then-
TomHOST
[laughs]
Sergio VerrilloGUEST
So we have, like, our Colfondo GMF is a song by John Grant, and the label is from Green Park Tube Station.
Sergio VerrilloGUEST
If you walked from the Jubilee to Piccadilly, you have the subtlety of grays and blues and whites that, depending on which end, you have a more prominent gray or more prominent blue.
Sergio VerrilloGUEST
So stuff like that.
Sergio VerrilloGUEST
Whereas, you know, I'm a huge Deadheads, so [laughs] I ended up, uh, we made a red field blend, which is actually one of my favorite wines right now, um, called Drum Space, and it's the, what was just a Grateful Dead, um...
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
He was waiting at Earls Court Station.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
Those of you who know Earls Court Tube Station, underground station, it's got the Piccadilly Line, which is two escalators deep underground.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
And it's got the Circle and District Line, which is at surface level.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
And he was stood there.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
by the westbound circle and district line.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
And the Holy Spirit said to him, waiting to get his train, the Holy Spirit said to him, go to the westbound Piccadilly line.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
As he went down those two flights on the escalator, as he stepped onto the platform, there was a girl from his school who he'd been praying for that she would come to know the Lord.
Olly GoldenbergGUEST
And so there was about seven minutes, I think, until a train came.
Tracy CollinsHOST
Yeah, when it's raining.
Tracy CollinsHOST
Now, South Kensington is also on the Piccadilly line, so you can come straight in from Heathrow if you're staying there.
Tracy CollinsHOST
Now, the drawback about staying in this area, it is one of the more upmarket parts of London, which means it comes with the price tag to go with it, both for hotels and for eating out.
Tracy CollinsHOST
This is not a cheap area.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The platforms are still there, still underground, still structurally sound, still in the dark between Green Park and Hyde Park Corner.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The Piccadilly Line train still pass through the station every few minutes.
speaker_2NARRATOR
You can see the old platform edges through the windows, if you know when to look.
speaker_2NARRATOR
A flash of tiled wall, a glimpse of a space that hasn't been lit for decades and then the tunnel closes in again and the train moves on.
speaker_2NARRATOR
British Museum Station closed in 1933, its surface building demolished, but the underground platforms remaining in the dark between Holborn and Tottenham Court Road.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The station was situated on the Central London Railway.
speaker_2NARRATOR
and its closure was precipitated by the opening of a new, larger station at Holborn that could serve both the Central and Piccadilly lines.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The logic was sound.
