Very interesting indeed. I wonder if they will every have any tours of
King William Street, just north of Baker Street on the Metropolitan.

Also, what was the name of the station between Farringdon and KXSP?

King William Street was near Bank, not Baker Street. Lord's was the
station north of Baker Street.

This was the original Kings Cross station.

King William Street was near Bank, not Baker Street. Lord's was the
station north of Baker Street.

There is also Marlborough Road on the Met which is disused?

Does anyone know if there is an entrance to Bull and Bush, or is it
through the tunnels only.

I think that it's tunnels only.

Bull & Bush -- is that the one near Angel station? Or am I confusing
that with City Road, on which preliminary work started but was never
completed?
