A couple of enthusiasts explore the hidden world of mothballed stations
most of which inaccessible from the surface
due to hotels etc that have been built,
on the sites of former sorting offices .

Stacks of photos and info here!

Such is the problem with underground railways, and the greater the access the more likelyhood of something terrible like the July bombings a few years back. :sad:

The team involved have said in the article that return will be impossible for them
as the "opening" they exploited has been firmly sealed!

Im much more interested in the possible real estate value of unused tunnels under London. :crazy:
there must uses... for somebody with imagination. :hmmmm
storage? wine cellars? shopping malls!
These tunnels are i believe at a shallower depth than the tube.
and there are miles of them.

They'd also be a good bolt hole if Al-Qaeda or the Mujahideen in Chechnya, start throwing around back pack nukes that they may have got from the Русская мафия.

In the event of attack. :shock:
You know the knobs in Whitehall will be catered for in relative luxury. :roll:
The rest of us will have to improvise!
