*In* the Thames?? Do you mean near the Thames, e.g. on the riverbank?


Being something of a perfectionist I most certainly meant "In"! All three
railways had stages/piers built out some distance from the bank from where
shafts went down to the level of the tunnel. The C&SLR's was slightly east
of London Bridge, near Swan Lane Pier, at the south end of Swan Lane. The
W&CR's were slightly east of Blackfriars Bridge, and the B&SWRs was

slightly
east of Hungerford Bridge.


Was there/has there ever been a plan to put a station at Blackfriars on the
W&C given how close it runs to Blackfriars? I guess the cost would be high,
but I'm just wondering....
