As a follow up to yesterday\u2019s post (London Underground April 2013\u2014Part 1<\/a>), I\u2019ve displayed a few more London Underground images made during last week\u2019s trip. I first photographed the Underground at South Kensington back in early 1998, using my Nikon F3T \u00a0loaded with Fuji slide film. By contrast, all of my images displayed here were exposed digitally, primarily with my Lumix LX-3, although I also made a few with my Canon EOS 7D.<\/p>\n

Riding the Underground, what always strikes me is the continual warnings to \u2018Mind the Gap!<\/p>\n

\"London<\/a>
At noon on April 19, 2013, a Bakerloo tube train approaches Willesden Junction. At this location Tube trains share tracks with Overground services. Exposed with a Canon EOS 7D fitted with 28-135mm Canon lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Trains fit two profiles, the older and larger profile \u00a0such as that used by Circle, District, and Metropolitan Lines<\/a>, and the later and lower profile used by \u2018Tube\u2019 services. These days many people refer to the whole of the Underground as the \u2018Tube,\u2019 (technically only the lines linking tunnels bored through deep clay which the lower profile trains use are \u2018Tube lines\u2019). Of course, in addition to subterranean routes, Underground trains also work surface lines and in some places share tracks with Overground and Network Rail trains.<\/p>\n
