Default Secret Tube Trains under London?

A contributor to The Robert Elms Show on BBC Radio London has just claimed
there are secret underground train lines between Buckingham Palace and
various other London sites.

Nifty conspiracy theory, or fact?

If it was "fact", they wouldn't be "secret", would they? ;-)

Blokey who phoned in said he had to sign the OSA to work on the site.

In which case, what was he doing talking about it then?

He was very wary about it and gave no detail.

He just said a building team had broken into the tunnel by mistake and the
company he works for were called in to repair the breach.

Robert Elms then brought the phone call to an end.

Eh? Plenty of things can be facts (ie what is rumoured is actually true)
while being closely-guarded secrets. I think you are using "fact" to mean
"widely-known in the public domain".

OK, perhaps I should have written "fiction, and just a nifty conspiracy
theory, or fact?"

********. Try Emmerson's "London's Secret tubes" for a clear-headed
survey of what *is* under London.

There could well be a small passageway between buck house and perhaps
the nearest
tube station however. This sort of thing certainly isn't unheard of.
