Default Tunnel routes Question

wrote in message
m...
Hi everyone,

Could anyone with the appropriate resources please help me with the
following questions, please. I need as much detailed information as
possible. I need to know, in relation to streets above:

1) The exact point at which the Jubilee Line crosses beneath
Marylebone Lane.

2) The exact point at which the Jubilee Line crosses beneath
Southampton Street, and the exact route of the line between
Southampton Street and the extreme end of the over-run tunnels.

3) The exact route of the Bakerloo Line between Elephant and Castle
platforms and the extreme southern end of the over-run tunnels, and
the exact point at which the tunnels finish.

4) The exact point at which the Victoria Line crosses beneath
Bressenden Place.


Many thanks for any help anyone can give,



See my copy of a road map that I scanned - this also shows tube lines above
and below ground.

The map is dated 1985. One grid square is about 700 metres or 3 1/2
furlongs.

I've uploaded http://www.martinunderwood.f9.co.uk/london-map.jpg (3.1 MB)
which is a composite of all the tiles.


These maps show the locations that you were asking about. In case you
haven't got time to download the maps, the locations a

- Jubilee line diverges from Chiltern Line at point where Chiltern crosses
Regents Canal. It runs N-S west of Marylebone (junction of Stanhope Street
and Granby Terr) then passes under the station forecourt and appears to join
Bakerloo at junc of Marylebone Street and Balcombe Street (south west end of
Dorset Square)

- My map shows Jubilee line as finishing at Charing Cross station at point
where Bakerloo passes over it from NW to SE at north corner of Charing Cross
mainline station and the Strand. (doesn't show Jubilee Line Extension - map
is dated 1985). So I can't help with this.

- Bakerloo tunnels diverge under Brook Street halfway between junc with
Kennington Road (NW) and Walcot Sq (SE). Easterly route passes under Lambeth
Hospital and Kennington Park Road to run parallel a few metres south of it.
Main line leaves the loop opposite Cleaver Square and continues along and
directly below Kennington Park Road. Loop passes under junction of De Laune
Str and Harmsworth St, then turns right under Kennington Park Place to pass
under KPR just SW of its junction with KPP. Loop continues sharp right under
Stannary Street then Ravendon St and Methley Street to it junction with the
main line at Cleaver Square junc with KPR. Loop continues NE parallel with
KPR and a few metre NW of it until it diverges at Opal Street, under
Kennington Lane. Passes between Renfrew St and Dryden Ct, under Kempsford Rd
and Gilbert Rd, just west of Lambeth Hosp, under Walcot St and back to point
where loop originally diverged.

- Vic line crosses under Bressenden Place between junction with Warwick Row
and junction with Allington St, closer to Warwick. Passes under corner of an
L-shaped building and then under Palace St between Stafford Place and
Catherine Place.
