My favorite topic by far. I love the history of the tube.

I took a cab ride with a friend who is a driver on the Piccadilly Line last year and he stopped adjacent to the old Down Street Station and you can still part of the platform and walkways.

Great stuff...

I love anything to do with railways, either old or new lol (and no, I'm still not a trainspotter lmao).

Love the escalator winders, and the disused lift shafts, disused platforms. In fact, love it all.

Excellent pics mate, love it.

Agree with all of the above! I'd love to get the opportunity to see some of the disused parts of the tube.
