Only the Guardian ...

"Stretches of vacant tunnel remain at Goodge Street and Stockwell, for
example, remnants of a bizarre second world war plan to connect deep
bomb shelters into an express connection running parallel with the
Northern Line."


Nothing like getting the facts totally mangled.


Well it is The Guardian. If you want facts rather than guesswork and

uneducated
opinion then its the wrong paper.


Looks like Subterranea Britannica

and Wiki must be talking out of their arses as well then


Or got the wrong end of the stick.

"As congestion on the Northern Line increased in the '30s, a plan was developed
to build a second pair of tunnels in parallel with the Charing Cross branch of
the Northern Line that would act as an express route through London"

Maybe its just as well that there are experts like you around with
the facts at your fingertips, to put everybody right


It would seem someone who can use google a bit better than you would be a start.
