"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?


No. I'm merely quoting your own chosen link back at you

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

" work began in 1940 on building deep level shelters which were envisaged
to eventually become the platform tunnels for the express route.

This was the link, if you remember which you posted as offering
more accurate information than the information which I'd quoted from
SB and wikipaedia.

Anyone with any knowledge of this topic, apart from you at least,
will appreciate that there are conflicting accounts of the sequence of
events around the construction of these tunnels, which is hardly
helped by the absence of original source material, for all but
the most diligent of researchers at least.


Given which, labelling people who disagree with you as "autistic",
or "trolls", probably isn't the best way to react when its evident
you don't even read, or are incapable of fully comprehending, your
own linked material.


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


You have to love unwitting irony.


Indeed.
