Tunnel Visions

£6.99

Christopher Ross, philosopher and traveller, decides to cease his journeyings and literally go underground. Seeking an antidote to incurable restlessness he chose to work for a year as a Station Assistant on Platform 6 (northbound Victoria Line) at Oxford Circus Station. After Training School, where he is taught how not to electrocute himself and always to look in the eye a member of the public as they are assaulting you, he faces up to his new duties with a mixture of curiosity and foreboding.

This book is the brilliant result of his people-watching, a delightful mixture of lived experience in the surreal subterrania of London's Tube and the more elevated ideas, thoughts and imaginings that the experience provoked.
