So, he's using GIFs in the table to do the tube line effect. I like
the look of this, but I think that having the names of the stops inside
the images is wrong - these should be text.
I may put together the "Lego bricks" that can make up a tube line,
when I get a spare moment at home. I'll need to make these in all the
colours that a tube line comes in. Ho hum.
