Conversely, London never had the el-to-subway transition that built a
lot of the NYC system (there are one or two examples of this
happening in London, though).

I'll probably kick myself when you answer this.......but where are
there any examples of this happening in London?

How about where the District and Picc climb out of their subsurface and
deep level tunnels at Earl's Court to just below ground level at
Hammersmith and then up a steep gradient on to the viaduct by
Ravenscourt Park? Or where the Wimbledon Line climbs on to a quite
high viaduct in Fulham? And the Central west of White City?

Yes and no, because although those are indeed examples of what the OP of
the text

Is that me?

meant, what he actually wrote (as he clarified subsequently) referred to
the construction of tunnels *to replace* surface or elevated lines.

That's exactly what i meant - tearing down elevated lines and digging
tunnels along the route.
