That sentence is a complete load of bollocks.
Barcode would be proud of it.
Don't you proof read anything before you hit the 'submit' button?
I'm fairly sure this is genuine Victoria line as I saw this colour when I last visited 'Pimilco' station.

I'm sorry, but I have to say that's Victoria Line blue. Piccadilly Line blue is very much darker, more a navy, as demonstrated here:

This shows the Euston Victoria Line sign next to the Stockwell sign from the first picture, and a Piccadilly Line sign from Covent Garden.
As you can see, it most definitely is not a Piccadilly sign in that first picture.
(and yes I am bored tonight).

Yes.
EDIT:
I have only just seen Ashley's pics (et al) of TfL colours for underground stations.
The main point I made was about the film poster; the fact that the underground line colour could be wrong was secondary.

Apart from that being the most meaninglessly irrelevant comment yesterday, was there a point your post, Nick?

Flailing your limbs around and hoping to hit someone again, Stu? Maybe one day you'll win but it's not today.
