Incidentally, the old tube map is also a prop from "The Escapist" with
'Union Station' marked onto a 1938 diagram - see my photo

Thanks for the tip off. I've often stopped at Southampton Row and
peered through the gates down the slope, wondering what lay behind the
darkness. Just made my booking so now I'll be able to find out.

The disused Kingsway Tramway will be open for tours from 8th Oct - 8th
Nov. See http://measure.org.uk/measurenews.html for details on how to
book. Apparently there will be some coloured string to look at as
well.

Thanks for the alert. I went this lunch time, and here's some of the
pics I took:

They've cleared the northern part of the tunnel for this installation,
with most of the stored material moved further south. The installation
is a bit south of the old Holborn station, and you can't go much beyond
it. It's much bigger than I expected, and makes good use of the tunnel
size. It has its own wooden tracks and doesn't make any use of the old
tram tracks.

There's also the remains of some of the props for the Escapist film,
including a Union Street Tube station sign (which has the wrong fonts --
I wonder if they weren't allowed to use the right one?). There's also
an old Tube map on Holborn station, dating perhaps from the early
post-war period?
