Did anybody else see all the London Underground stuff in Spooks last
night?

That train they walked through looked very old and reminded me of my
childhood!

I'm assuming it was a 1972, parked in the Aldwych tunnel at Holborn? If
so, there are many older trains still in service on LU.

We also saw the usual escape into the disused Jubilee platforms at
Charing Cross (not far from Aldwych, but I don't think there's an
underground route between them).

But bizarrely they had gone underground at Liverpool street and were
using "disused tunnels" to get to London Bridge. Now I'm willing to
suspend belief for fiction purposes that they were using a tunnel that
doesn't exist. But they least they could have done then was to cover
up the roundels saying that they were at Charing Cross, which rather
made a mockery of the whole thing. Even "King William Street" would have
done! :-)

I was wondering where all the other twisty foot passages were? They
looked clean and unused, rather than disused.
I assumed that hey were all part of the Charing Cross complex but could
of course be wrong. The 72 stock *was* in Aldwych, I presume?
