Came across this story on Twitter:
"In the late 1950s, the Notting Hill tube station underwent a major
overhaul when the old lifts that transported passengers to and from the
train platforms were abandoned and replaced with modern escalators. The
passageways to the lifts were sealed off too and everything within them was
subsequently frozen in time.

Hmm, I often wonder why they do that. If you seal up tunnels you may well
get a build up of unpleasent gases in there not to mention the possibility
of them becoming flooded which doesn't bode well for the poor sods who
"rediscover" them some time in the future.
