We hear a lot about stress and how to avoid it. But wait! What if we could eliminate it? Would that be a good thing? NO! Because we can't live without stress. “Stress is the body’s nonspecific response to the demands placed upon it”, says Hans Selye, MD, professor, and research scientist who spent a lifetime researching and explaining the body’s physiological response to stress. (See his book, “Stress Without Distress”) Our body is constantly adapting to changes. If we couldn’t adapt, we would be unable to go to work, make plans and keep ourselves safe. It is stress that allows us to respond to whatever is happening. It enables us to adapt to any new situation, whether it is cheering at a football game or responding to a threat. It is how we are able to respond to life: mentally, emotionally, socially and physically. We can’t eliminate stress, nor do we want to. It is normal and natural.
There is a generally accepted etiquette to traveling by escalator: if you want to stand, move to one side; if you prefer to walk, do so on the other. But a recent study suggests everyone should stand on escalators in order to move faster.

Crossrail Ltd has delivered the Elizabeth line - a new railway for London and the South East, running from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through 42km of new tunnels under London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. The Elizabeth line has 41 accessible stations including 10 major new stations from Paddington to Abbey Wood.
Mini marvels.
A fine, if dingy, view looking south of the station platforms taken in 1934, a year after the ex-Metropolitan Railway station became part of the new London Transport empire. It shows a busy array of retail outlet - despite having a Lyons Cafe upstairs even the platform boasts a refreshment room, and a W H Smith newsagent kiosk. The various adverts include the old London company of Yardley's, and the LNER advertising their Holiday Yearbook - the far platforms, the Metropolitan Widened Lines on their way to Moorgate and with connections towards Blackfriars, of course being served by the LNER. Although the now Listed 1865 train shed still survives, the scene has changed. The Widened Lines have come back to life, having been 'saved' by the Moorgate services, these have now been sacrificed for the further enhancements to Thameslink - Farringdon is at the heart of this scheme and the station is currently being extensively remodelled. The overbridge and staircases, seen here, were reconstructed in the 1980s by London Underground, and int he next few months will be completely remodelled as new lifts are installed. The ex-Metropolitan Railway 'diamond' signs, their version of the LT roundel, still shows the name "Farringdon & High Holborn" - along with 'alight here for Gamages', the retail emporium a short walk away on Holborn. All in all it is a wonderful scene - I'm very certain that this is a copy of an 'official' LT photo I've acquired over the years so my apologies in advance - but it is such a fine view of a London station.
Two forms of electric traction are seen here at the southern end of Gray's Inn Road, as a new trolleybus on route 617 passes an old tram, soon to be replaced by trolleybus route 613.
