Tube carriages to be recycled into shops

Here's a nice Friday story: London Underground are recycling tube carriages into shops and workshops. Two things of note. 1 - we're getting new tube carriages. Hooray and huzzah. Maybe them come with *whisper* ventilation. Nah. That would be ridiculous. 2 - isn't it nice that they're recycling. Personally, I'd love to walk into, say, a newsagent and look around and realise that I'm actually standing in a carriage from the Jubilee line. It'd be just the kind of surreal thing that could brighten up an otherwise boring day.
