The Government are planning airport style security scanners could be introduced to train and tube stations. These extra measures could protect from potential bombs.

The screening of Tube passengers will be a nightmare. You can't get onto the platform like King Cross until 15 minutes before departure. This report is an alarming as the times we live in.

It's the next step in tracking our every moment, but if they call it "security measures" they assume we'll accept it unquestioningly.

How right you were, Mr. Orwell.

Please - it's not the first time I've said it - in this country we have RAILWAY Stations not 'Train Stations' just as we have AIRPORTS and not 'Plane Stations'Rolling Eyes

.... and "tube" stations are really "underground stations". And that's before we get to the good old "omnibuses"!
