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'

Why? Is is where all the missing manuscripts end up? (It might play
host to the original Seven Pillars of Wisdom...)

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.

I haven't heard of ghosts at Euston before. 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!
