  2. Support, as per nom. Tbo 157talk 18:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  3. Support with a weak preference for image 1, as it shows more of the little quirks that make LU unique (the Northern Line being furthest south, the Fairlop loop etc). Although I don't like the way the river's treated, it makes it look like it starts in Brentford & disappears into a pipe somewhere round Silvertown (so that's what those big silver things are for!) — iridescent (talk to me!) 16:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Image:Northern heights.png

[edit]

I think this is a genuinely interesting picture, even if not the traditional pretty photo. Since the Diagram is probably the best-known London Transport image, we ought to focus more on it, and this kind of what-might-have-been slant on it might be more interesting to the casual reader who's familiar with the tube but not its history (as well as being free-use and not upsetting TfL's copyright department). It's currently used in the (previously) Selected Article "Northern Line" and my pet project, the current Good Article "A1 road (London)" — iridescent (talk to me!) 14:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]

This is another not-your-typical-photo one that IMO deserves a wider audience; an 1845 illustration from Pictorial Times showing the experimental atmospheric railway pumping station (with its gothic chimney-spire) & station platforms at Jolly-Sailor Station (later renamed "Norwood", and since replaced by Norwood Junction nearby). It's used in five separate articles, four of which are directly LT related (Atmospheric railway, List of stations in London Borough of Croydon, London and Croydon Railway, Norwood Junction railway station and current Applied Science & Technology & WP:LONDON Good Article A215 road), and illustrates an aspect of London's transport history with which many people, even those with a good knowledge of transport history, will be unfamiliar — iridescent (talk to me!) 14:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]

On rifling through User:Davidcane/images, I'm retracting support for the Shepherd's Bush diagram and nominating this one instead, as I think it's of equally good design, but more interesting to the non-anorak reader with an interest in London history who stumbles across this portal. It might be especially interesting if someone with the right software and/or Rotring pens overlays it with the central section of Image:London overground future.png (pictured underneath), or the images are run side-by-side — iridescent (talk to me!) 12:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Victoria Line train leaving depot.jpg

[edit]

On a skim through the archive, I realise we've never actually had a picture of a train! Although I took this one so am possibly biased, this seems as good as any for a "representative" picture - a 1967 stock train leaving Northumberland Park Depot and about to enter the Victoria Line (sorry, I mean "line"). — iridescent 02:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

  3. Seems like solid reasoning to me. But really, I like the photo. It's chiefly London. Support.

Although it's (gasp) the evil that is A Tourist Bus, of all the ones I've taken this is my personal favourite, and — encompassing bus transport, river transport and road transport — certainly falls into our remit, quite aside from being the silliest mode of transport in London since Sinclair abandoned the C5.

  • Is the name of it really called Suicide Bridge? I'm not really sure it is "best-known". Could you point me to the article on it? And finally, it is a little dark. Simply south (talk) 17:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Complicated; the official name is the thrilling "Hornsey Lane Bridge", but I've never heard it called anything other than "Suicide Bridge" or occasionally "Archway Bridge" (technically, the name of the now demolished John Nash bridge, not the current one). The article on it was merged with its neighbours in my cleanup of the constituent parts of the A1 last year and is now at A1 road (London)#Archway Road; it's also mentioned at Archway, London. (The picture there is lighter, but somewhat truncated and doesn't show the roadway underneath.) Personally, I don't think the gloominess of the lighting is an issue (this is the eighth most jumped-off structure in the world, after all...) but others may disagree. — iridescent 17:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Train at Barnes Bridge.JPG

[edit]

Exactly the same "never had a train" argument as above (note to the baffled: "the above" refers to this comment which has since been removed), but an NR one this time; a South West Trains Class 450 heading north from Barnes Bridge station & about to pass over the bridge. The image includes all the typical elements of an off-peak outer London station; a garishly-painted train, a defective indicator board, a sky that looks like it's about to pelt down rain, a deserted platform, a dilapidated-looking bridge and a lost-looking backpacker. — iridescent 02:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

    The first is immediately south of the site of Noel Park and Wood Green railway station; the second, taken from the point where the A1080 (Westbury Avenue) crosses the former line, about 100 yards east of Turnpike Lane tube station, looking south along the line towards the site of West Green railway station. There are descriptors of the locations attached to the images themselves in the event anyone needs to use them. A third in the series, File:The Sandlings.JPG, showing the view north from the same point as the second image, is probably the best looking of the three, but for some reason gives no sense at all of a lost line – the trackbed just looks like a generic footpath. – iridescent 18:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Other than having the two train classes side-by-side, there's nothing distinctive here, and the composition—with that swathe of track in the foreground, the timestamp in the corner, the ugly works footbridge bisecting the picture, the fencing hiding parts of the trains—is just plain ugly.

      • I'd go with the first one (or possibly take pictures of the three boards separately and stitch them together into a panorama). I think we can safely assume that anyone getting as far as P:LT already knows what the LT roundel looks like. If we went with a "long skinny panorama" we could always do a one-off tweak to the portal layout that day and have it as a 600px-width image spanning the page. – iridescent 17:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

  1. Sorry but this one I do have to oppose, and you should probably quietly delete it; it's a blatant copyright violation. Freedom of panorama explicitly doesn't apply to a two-dimensional sign, and thus you need OTRS consent from the copyright holder (presumably Southwark Council) before you can upload this, let alone use it in articles or project pages. I've been caught by this one as well; this is why all our pictures of LT roundels are of the free-stranding 3D signs. – iridescent 19:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

  1. Sorry, going to oppose this; it's a clear breach of TfL's copyright for Wikipedia even to be hosting this image. CDPA exemption only applies to three dimensional artefacts and explicitly not to "graphic works", which the tube map clearly is. – iridescent 02:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit]

An unusual one but undoubtedly falling into our remit, and a bit of a break from the ordinary; James McNeill Whistler's revolutionary Nocturne: Blue and Gold – Old Battersea Bridge, which caused such controversy with its distortion of the bridge's structure and the London skyline that it ended up with the first court case ever to rule on the artistic merit of a painting. – iridescent 21:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
