Which terrorist attacks in London subway stations are you referring to? I've lived here for more than 30 years and can't think of a single terrorist attack in an tube station.

Are you being pedantic? Because obviously they set off the bombs while in the tunnel between stations rather than at a station?

How is that being pedantic. This dude is worried about maps of STATIONS, what does that have to do with bombs being set off in a TRAIN?

> an explosion occurred on a District line train at Parsons Green Underground station

Is that a concrete-enough example?

I don't think the maps are an issue either, but you pretending to be ignorant that they are attacked, and that lines between them are attacked, is weird.

I'm not pretending trains aren't being attacked and it's incredibly disingenuous that you need to pretend that's what I'm saying.

What I'm saying maps of STATIONS have nothing to do with TRAINS being attacked. It seems like you think trains and stations are the same thing, and that's something you'll need to figure out for yourself.

You can just admit you forget about these attacks if you want.
I've lived in London for 30 years. My partner was 2 trains ahead of the one that detonated at Edgware Road. You're a toy soldier and you can just admit you don't know the difference between trains and stations.
OK, so basically no attacks on stations. That's what I thought.
Maybe you didn't ctrl+f search for "station" in those articles? If you're going to act pedantic, you ought to at least have your facts straight.
Yeah, nothing of consequence in the last 30 years. Appreciate your overwrought concern, but Londoners aren't too worried about maps of stations being public lol.
