i went to the edge of the universe today: yes, to upminster and to epping.

random underground question: why on earth doesn't the victoria line extend very slightly further, to the central line at leytonstone, thus providing a handy link, which would have stopped me from missing the start of doctor who?

Because Leytonstone already had a tube station, at a guess.

arkady did once tell me the reason, but I forget what it was, they probably ran out of money. Wikipedia informs us that the line was originally meant to terminate at Wood Street alongside the BR station there, but they decided at the last minute to terminate at Hoe Street (later Walthamstow Central)

cosmic conspiracy.

Probably a combination of running out of money and big-ass bodies of water up there (which might have caused the running out of money? Not sure, am talking out arse).
