Isn't that long disused L-shaped tunnel at embankment, leading north from the eastbound district line then west, meant to be very haunted? It's called something like 'paget's walk' |

Also what did it link and why does it not link them any more? |

Also what did it link and why does it not link them any more? District line to bakerloo. The other end is the door facing you when you get down the platform steps to the northbound bakerloo line. I don't know why they stopped using it. They put escalators in, so it wasn't compulsory any more, but I can't see why it wouldn't work as a relief passage. |

I don't know why its named as such - I'm sure someone will be along to tell us why, if not we will have to wait till I'm out that way next and I'll enquire! I think there are some references to it on the interweb so that may turn up something of use. |

Did you see them in the public bits of the station, or in the disused passages? Maybe you could see them up in the air where the wierd half-overbridge used to be to get onto the bank branch platforms from the original entrance? |

The first one was when I was taking the up-escalator from the Victoria Line at about 5:10am, having tested a fire point. I was looking at the adverts when I heard someone walking down the down escalators on the other side. When I looked there was no one there, although I could still hear the noise of the footsteps and visualise where on the escalators the feet were. The second one was in the disused section, Near where the advert for Croydon aerodrome is there is a locked grilled metal gate. On the way in I thought I saw a child's mitten inside that gate. It was not there when I came back, and I decided not to investigate. END TRANSMISSION! |
