The tunnels have TWICE the cross section area of existing tube tunnels,
to allow a walkway!


Great idea! Walking along tracks is bloody awful. If there is an evac
then a walkway will speed things up enormously. Same with getting
mechanics to problem scenes.

It looks like the public can get into a raised viewing platform over the
Battersea Power Station Station.


He mentioned a possible future extension to Clapham Jct!


I think there was always going to be passive provision for such an
extension, simply by having the terminus tunnels point the right way, but
with no current plan (or funding) to go any further.
