The FT site might be checking the referrer (i.e. the webpage from
whence you've followed a link) - this might be the problem, e.g. if
there is no referrer (i.e. if you're going straight there via the link
from your newsgroup client). I had no problem when I accessed it from
Google Groups - I'm wondering if the FT is happy to allow access (at
least to a few articles, for a limited period) if the referrer is from
a google.com / google.co.uk domain.

Indeed I got it from doing a search for 'East London Line' on Google
News and a direct click from there worked for me. I would be surprised
if they put something like this behind a paywall.

But

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b53453d8-3...44feabdc0.html

still works if you search for'East London Line' from the FT's home page.

Anyway, it's a nice sequence and well worth a look, IMO.

That worked, many thanks, and that was an interesting slide show.

I have no doubt that the project is great, but I don;t necessarily know
how exactly it is "revolutionary," as the slide show side.

The slide show was also incorrect in that it said that the Dalston
Junction-Highbury & Islington extension would be opened by January 2011.
IIRC on this group, however, it is due to open in May 2011.

A pedant would also point out that the Brunels' tunnel wasn't the
first underwater tunnel, but the first under a navigable river.
