What I never thought about until now is that the tracks in the *fore-
ground*, which now form the Circle and District Line tracks, are mixed
gauge in the lithograph. I have never seen anything to suggest that
broad-gauge trains used those tracks. Does anyone know how far toward
South Ken the broad-gauge rails ran, and whether they were ever used?

They didn't, as can be seen if you take a look at the tunnel width at the
junction. The lithographer used artistic licence.
