- WPLT slowdown
Unfortunately there has been a slowdown in contributions lately. This shows through the lack of responses and nominations for the Portal's selected articles and images. There has also been a lack of contributions to articles other than images. Therefore I, UNI|SOUTH the founder of WikiProject London Transport, am giving out a message to all the participants talk pages requesting them to indicate that they are active.
- This month's selected image
Hornsey Lane Bridge, Archway, more commonly known as "Suicide Bridge".
- From the editor
Sadly due to editorial issues we couldn't launch our new look Metro this month and I have indefinitely postponed it. Thank you for your understanding.
The future of The Metropolitan is still under review due to the lack of contributions and subscribers. If this review shows a significant lack of interest of this newsletter then this will be the final issue. Please provide your feedback on this newsletter either by leaving a message on my talkpage or on the WPLT discussion page.
