Has anyone tried to explore these? I assume their are fairly difficult to access.

 

[Seffy]

Not for the faint hearted, especially after all the trouble over that derailed train. SilentUK have done ghost stations, seriously epic.

 

[Ellis]

derailed train ?

 

[Seffy]

I don't know the full extent myself, but I believe it was an incident on the old Mail Rail in London, but don't want to mention any names as may not be correct

 

[Ellis]

ah right ok fair enough

 

[Seffy]

If anyone is interested, there was a series on BBC2 that finished tonight called 'The Tube' which features a few bits about the Ghost Stations, quite interesting

People have done them but the reports tend to be in non public areas of forums and the like due to the legal consequences of trespassing on the underground, it crosses the line from Civil Trespass into Criminal Trespass and is likely (especially in the run up to the Olympics) to see you arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

But saying that, the stations are down there, I hear that there is one that is pretty "as was" and has been used for a couple of film sets.

 

[Seffy]

^Thats a much better way of putting it.

[Seffy]

Awesome thank you =] will look through those in the morning

I passed the Aldwych Underground station when I was in the Lord mayors show last year and have been wondering about it ever since. And I was watching 'The Tube' this evening and it reminded me about it. also found their was another programme ages ago called Londons Ghost stations so I might try and find that somewhere as well

I have jumping stilts and was invited back I was part of the parade in 2008 with bocking with the scouts, and the Jack Pletchley foundation saw us on TV and eventually tracked us down to have us back for their charity last year.

We were on bbc, and I thought I stacked big time live on bbc luckily the camera that was filming me wasn't live

Awesome stuff, great work!
Whenever my parents drive to Kings Cross, we go past York Road(?) station and I often wonder if there's anything left inside it. Then there's that really long gap between Kentish Town and Camden Town on the Northern Line...

There are a couple of good sites on abandoned stations, I've posted the addresses here in the past.
