Union Street station
Evening all,
One for the collectors of fictitious underground stations - and in particular for the specialists who like fictitious abandoned underground stations! There's a film out at the moment called The Escapist, about a prison break, made by means of underground passages. At some point, the escapees reach the capital-U Underground, in the shape of an abandoned station, Union Street. There's WW2 paraphernalia on the floor, and a copy of the 1941 tube map on the wall: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clive.b...maps/1941.html Which is utterly distinctive because of the way interchanges are shown. I didn't spot Union Street on that map, but my companion did, and he said it was just east of Elephant & Castle. There is a Union Street in Southwark, but north of Elephant. However, the prison is described as "south of the river", and they walk through the tunnels to Charing Cross, so either of those makes sense. I'm afraid i couldn't tell you if it was on the Bakerloo or the Northern line, though! I don't think there are any prisons in that vicinity - perhaps the producers thought HMP Clink was still in operation? Or, more geographically but less comically, Marshalsea or Horsemonger Lane. Anyway, it's a decent enough film, so if you're stuck for something to do and like fairly well-acted crime capers, give it a go. tom -- I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. -- Hunter S.
