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.

So which word or words in the 12 word sentence from your own link

" These plans were shelved at the outset of the Second World War,"

are you having the biggest difficulty with ?


http://underground-history.co.uk/shelters.php

"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.

Reading the material you actually link to might help ease your obvious
confusion.

" It was hoped that when their wartime use had come to an end, tunneling
would re-start to allow the already constructed tunnel sections to be
interconnected, providing the express Northern Line route. For this reason,
most shelters were constructed with ease of access to the existing
Northern Line in mind.

So there were plans before the war.

These were shelved.

" These plans were shelved at the outset of the Second World War,"

Then with the start of the war, as the Guardian and SB says, it was decided
to build deep shelters.

At the time, as the Guardian and SB say, the possibility was left open
that these could form part of an express line running parallel
to the existing Northern Line. Similar to that proposed pre-war
but shelved. Hence their siting.
