Tours of the London Underground
 

Does anyone know of any "On-site" tours of LU stations (Used/Dis-used) ?

I have looked at the LT Museum site but they only cater for group visits ?

Any help ?

Check Hywel Williams's excellent site - often read by myself before any
visit to London (from Stoke):

http://www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/

- sadly he states "For the time being, no further tours of Disused
Stations are being arranged by London's Transport Museum. They are very
much aware that there are many people who'd love to visit - and have not
ruled out tours in the future, but remember that even when they were
arranging the tours, the vast majority of people who applied were turned
away due to the small number of people that could attend each tour."

- so you may be out of luck - but you never know what a politely-worded
letter to LTM might bring?

If LU owned some goldmines, they wouldn't know what to do with them.

£15 per visit, 30 people per day, 200 visits per year... £90k anyone?
(and I'm guessing you could show around more than 30 ppl a day...)

Although I'd guess it would have to be subcontracted so the returns
would be much diminished... ;-)

Only last week I went on a tour of Aldwych Disued Station. The tour wass
organised through Craven's Herritage Trains and Londons Transport Museum.

i must admit, it was a real treat.

My thanks go to Cravens and to LTM for this special evening.

I havealso visited Wood Lane disued - although this has now been demolished,
again through Cravens.

my best advice would befor you to join the London undergraound Railway Society
and Cravens Herritage Trains.

Hope Iv helped.

Why are you not munging your email address? You should be using a fake

Because I like people to be able to contact me easily?

I just filter it (or most of it) out.

Thanks for your concern, though! :-))
