Talk:Mornington Crescent tube station

replies: text: That whole section is questionable - I can find absolutely no evidence that spiral staircases are prohibited for emergency use (in fact they are still installed for that purpose ), and even if they were disallowed in new installations, I'm sure an old Tube station would come under "grandfather rights" of some sort.

message: Does anyone know the rationale for running Edgware line trains nonstop through Mornington Crescent, but stopping only Barnet line trains there (before 1966)?58.32.233.104 (talk) 15:23, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is wrong I'm afraid. The central sections of the Northern line were built as two separate and unconnected underground lines. Northern line trains running via Bank do not run non-stop through Mornington Crescent, they do not actually pass through the station at all. There are two pairs of tunnels between Euston and Camden Town. The first tunnels were built by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR) and opened in 1907. They run from Warren Street, through Euston and Mornington Crescent to Camden Town where the route divides for the two northern branches. The other pair of tunnels was opened in 1924 when the tunnels of the City and South London Railway were extended from Euston to Camden Town. These take a different alignment to the CCE&HR tunnels and do not pass near to or have platforms at Mornington Crescent station. This is why there are two separate sets of Northern line platforms at Euston. For more detail, see the history section of Euston tube station. --DavidCane (talk) 09:56, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I would defy anyone to show me in a reputable published source where the original Rod Serling Requiem was designated a "TV movie".  It was one in a long line of distinguished "Golden Age" dramatic scripts, and was not the only one to be turned into a highly regarded feature film — Paddy Chayesfsky's Marty would be another example of this.  But it was not a "TV movie" in the sense of being a film produced primarily to be exhibited on television as opposed to being exhibited in movie theaters, which is what this term means, so I have removed this unverified, undocumented comment until it can be shown to be verifiable.   Rlquall 16:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  TV movie? 

message: Requiem for a Heavyweight was indeed not technically a "TV movie," a term that wouldn't exist until almost a decade later (with Fame Is the Name of the Game starring Tony Franciosa in 1966). Requiem was a 90-minute episode of the great anthology series Playhouse 90 and put Rod Serling on the map (I once heard, in person, Serling declare that it was his best work, by the way--his shockingly early demise was and remains a horrifying loss).  I think the later movie with Jackie Gleason and Mickey Rooney was far superior to the TV version: Gleason and Rooney were the two finest actors of their generations.  Also, there are stills from the Sean Connery British version online if you Google Image it, and that's most fascinating. Connery wore much heavier makeup for the role than Palance or Quinn.

message: "According to physicist Erich Schuller of the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, a Maßkrug is an "effective percussion tool" in which each strike is potentially life-threatening. An empty Maß weighs 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb) and can produce a force of 8,500 newtons (1,900 lbf) in a violent blow, far surpassing the 4,000 newtons (900 lbf) required to break a human's skullcap. However, there were cases in which the Maßkrug yielded. Presumably, these mugs had reduced strength due to wear."
