How safe is public transport in London?
You will be very safe on the underground/buses. However, if a bus has a Metroline logo on it, it is advisable to not get on it. Their buses are wierd.Please note that not all trains have CCTV yet. The Bakerloo and picadilly lines are not currently fitted with CCTV due to the age of the trains and no point on installing them as the trains are reaching retirement age. All stations do have CCTV though.All buses are fitted with CCTV. However, some route 15 and route 9 buses are old routemsaters (the buses you see in gift shops) and therefore do not have CCTV but do have a conductor.Please DO NOT rely on the night tube to get you home. If you have a day ticket, you MUST complete your journey before 0429. This is because 0430 is when normal services start.And last of all, national rail. These trains might get you to your destination quicker (e.g. Liverpool street - Stratford) and these trains do accept travelcards/oyster cards. BE WARNED: THESE TRAVELCARDS ARE NOT VALID OUTSIDE OF LONDON! Please check Every Journey Matters (TfL, the transport service) as to where travelcards are valid.And please, please, please AVOID RUSH HOUR. This is usually 0800 to 1000 amd 1500 to 1800 (I know, more than 1 hour). You will NOT be accepted on national rail with a travelcard (I think) and you get charged more. Please also note that national rail companies charge diferently on your travelcard/oyster card.Glossary:National Rail - The UK rail service (owns track, not trains and owns some stations)Travelcard - a paper ticket valid for 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. Sometimes cheaper.Oyster card - The smart ticketing system for london.I hope I helped,-Robski
What are the officers of the Roman army called?
From the site listed below... "Let's start from the bottom. The lowest role of leadership on the chain is that of Decuriones. This man was the senior officer in charge of ten horsemen. He would basically represent that small group of soldiers and, if he was killed in battle, the next most senior person would take his place. The next step up on the ladder is the job of Praefectus. This person was the commander of the cavalry. One more rung on the ladder is the Centurion. He would lead a century. This officer was non-commisioned, and to hold this title, would have to had previously been a sergeant. The following are even higher positions that are reached through an entirely different type of promotion. Only senators could ever get these positions. The Military Tribune is the first on this list. The Tribune was in charge of keeping an accurate list of all the soldiers, noting casualties, and when needed becoming a mediator in minor disputes. The Qaestor was the treasurer of the Roman Army, they would handle the logistics. These people served a term of one year. The commander and chief of a single roman legion, also known as the legion general. The second highest in command would be the Legati. This person served as the lieutenant general. This person was usually between the age of 30 and 40, and would serve a term of 3-4 years. The head man in charge of the ENTIRE Roman Army was the Dux. This person had it all. The Dux has the power to crush civilizations. The Dux has the power to expand the great Empire of Ancient Rome." Aloha
