Shocked commuters gawp as woman brings desktop computer on First Class Virgin train

A shocked commuter took a photograph of a woman who had turned her First Class seat on a train into an office by installing a large iMac.

“I work for a software company, and been traveling on the trains for about 15 years, I have never seen anything like it.

New London underground map redesigned for people with anxiety

A London Underground map has been published to help passengers with claustrophobia or anxiety conditions.  The new design highlights routes they can take to avoid long stretches of tunnels.  More than half of the Tube’s 270 stations are above ground, with only the Victoria and Waterloo & City lines wholly underground.
