Evening all,
One for the collectors of fictitious underground stations - and in
particular for the specialists who like fictitious abandoned
underground stations!
There's a film out at the moment called The Escapist, about a prison
break, made by means of underground passages. At some point, the
escapees reach the capital-U Underground, in the shape of an
abandoned station, Union Street. There's WW2 paraphernalia on the
floor, and a copy of the 1941 tube map on the wall:

Which is utterly distinctive because of the way interchanges are
shown.
Indeed. I saw this film on Sunday and commented to my companion
"that's definitely a WWII-era tube map" and she thought I was bonkers
....or just needed to get out more!
