YOU can make it happen on
Wednesday 17th December 2008!
Heads buried in newspapers and books, iPods on full blast, people texting furiously, everyone studiously avoiding eye contact … yep, you’re on the Tube! Small wonder there’s no chit-chat…
Why don’t people talk on the Tube? Whatever happened to small talk?
NOW IMAGINE … The London Tube, transformed for one day, as people break the silence and actually talk to each other! The Tube will come ALIVE.
Wednesday 17th December 2008 is the day we will Get The Tube Talking - the day when Tube travelers are invited to challenge the unspoken agreement that “nobody talks on the Tube”. The idea is to have fun, be brave and simply talk to the person sitting next to you. Say ‘Hello, have you heard about Get The Tube Talking?’ and see what happens - you might be surprised by the results! This will be an amazing day…
Be part of it!
Taking part is easy - simply use the Tube on Wednesday 17th December 2008 and talk to somebody! You will find talk becomes infectious and everybody starts chatting.

On the day, you will be able to share your experience via the web site by sending your stories, photos and videos.
