Are there maps of those proposals online anywhere?


I can't find them anywhere so, for those interested, I have scanned my
copy of the 1943 Railway proposals map and put it online at:

Very interesting. Interesting that they for example were planning a
direct connection between Victoria and Paddington because even today
there is still no really good and fast north-south cross Hyde Park and
Kensington direct connection, for example Victoria -
Paddington/Marylebone. Circle Line, or Victoria-Bakerloo with change at
Oxford Circus, are ok but it takes 15-20 minutes...

Also, the route Charing Cross - Aldwych - Blackfriars - Canon Street -
Tower - Wapping - (rest of ELL) - New Cross/Gate seems to be quite like
the "Fleet Line" phase 2 route planned in the 70's to be built in the
late 80's.
