Nice one, Crossy. Thanks for sharing. I've travelled on the Pink line a few times now. I noticed a few things like loose grab rails and the like on the trains etc. Is there any formal way to advise on things like that?

The video boy's a bit late with his exciting news. The Pink Line opened more than 2 weeks ago.

A part of the idea for the free service is to do a 'shake down' on the system. A shake down is used to find issues. I have seen staff working on different aspects of the stations. Do you think it unreasonable to highlight a few more things to adjust / nip up?

Yes, but it is incomplete. It doesn't have all the existing stations on existing lines. It also does not show the Pink Line.. The pinkish line on the nippon map is actually called the light red line. And the purple line is actually the blue line.

This is better if you actually want to see the whole thing and not have half of the lines cut off before the end.
