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

Are the disused Mail Rail tunnels suitable for this, or are they too small?

And isn't there talk of reactivating Mail Rail for some other purpose?


A museum in one of the stops with a short theme ride in part of the
tunnel.
