A secret disused underground station that was used by thousands of
Londoners during the Blitz has been opened up for rare public viewing.

Visitors have been able to take a tour of the Aldwych Tube Station,
one of London's closed underground stations, which included a platform
which stopped operating in 1914.

I can't understand why they don't open this sort of thing as a permanent
museum.

Or perhaps the subset of "mes" who think that it would be nice to visit is
too small

Given that the London Transport Museum has had a considerable cut in
funding

Isn't it self funding?

there are plenty of other niche museums in London that are, so there's no
reason why it can't be.
