comments,

• Work on this train network began in 1987, to rejuvenate a part of London that looked like “a desert.”""Which Canadian city acted as the inspiration?
• Is it just us or do these colourful buildings have a strange symmetry with the Olympic rings?""They\re in great shape to welcome this weekend\s special guest
• Serious construction has been going on across this city for years in preparation for some special fun and games.""There\s even been a bit of ‘light\ work
• Trundling along these lines is rarely dull - particularly at night.""Have you looked out of the window?
