"whereas the Great Northern and City Railway, which opened in 1904, was built
to take main line trains from Finsbury Park to a Moorgate terminus in the
City
and had 16-foot (4.9 m) diameter tunnels."

Now run along and find some other straws to grasp.

The stations in question Belsize Park, Camden Town, Goodge Steet, Stockwell,
Clapham North, Clapham Common, Clapham South are all deep level tubes
running through 11 feet 8 inches (3.56 m) tunnels.

The plan envisaged subsequently using the 16.ft 6in diameter shelters as
platform spaces, not as "train size" tunnels, as you claim above.

Are you arguing against yourself now? A few posts back you were saying they
were shelter designs, now you're saying they were stations. Make your mind up.
Personally I always assumed the express tube was going to be full size loading
gauge but there we go.

You really don't have a clue, do you ?

You have to love unwitting irony.
