Nifty conspiracy theory, or fact?

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

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

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

There are plenty of semi-secret tunnels connecting government buildings
in central London, and some may indeed have connections to the
Underground, but I doubt that there are trains running in them. At most,
they may have airport-style electric buggies for people and 'cargo' (eg,
boxes of files).

Would this be an opportune momment to raise the issue of the
'Strategic Reserve'?

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".

I am assuming that you mean the Winbuck line that has only one
intermediate station at Northolt.
IIRC it was built in the 50's using Icelandic miners who were shipped
back home after the project was completed.
Test trains are run on the first Thursday of every month, in case of
power fail there is a back up facility at Windsor Castle that consists
of 5000 hamster wheels using 20,000 hamsters. There is a secret
hamster farm behind Eton Station.

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

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.
