Leicester Square Station is random
March 20, 2005
For about one week now, parts of Leicester Square Station here in London are fully accoutered with Apple's iPod Shuffle advertising. This is the first Tube station, which sees that kind of promotion for a product. However, it is not new to Apple. It did this kind of billing already in the Metro in Paris or in some other underground/subways in the US and Canada.
I wonder if it is random ;-) that they have chosen Leicester Square Station for that kind of advertising. Why? Well, at Leicester Square station the Northern Line (Charing X branch) and the Piccadilly Line are stopping. And both, but especially the Northern Line, rank among the most unreliable Tube lines in the entire network.
And with the right sense of humor you could see Apple's slogan "Life is random" even with other eyes. :-) Got the point?
