And what? The plans existed which the shelters were pretty much built to.
End.

"Pretty much built to" ?

From your very own link, which you so thoughtfully provided.

Are you autistic? Yes, built to as in straight tunnels of train size

Train size ?

From your own link

" Each shelter consisted of two parallel tunnels that were 16ft 6in
(approx. 4.9m) in diameter "

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

whereas -

.. The Bakerloo, Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria and Waterloo
& City lines are deep-level tubes, with smaller trains that run in two circular
tunnels with a diameter of about 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_...infrastructure

Spot the difference can you ?

Or are you now going to suggest that despite all the extra expense
involved, this additional deep level tube was expressly designed
to accomodate extra tall people ?

running
in the same location as the express tube was designed. FFS. Of course they're
going to have a few extra bits if they're being fitted out as shelters.

Those extra bits being, in addition to widely spaced shafts, reinforced
infrastructure, air conditioning, sewage facilities, small details like
tunnels which were 5ft larger in diameter you mean ?
