Thanks for posting this interesting article. Urban archaeology is always fascinating.

We too have tours of our transit network in Boston as well including the abandoned stations. Like the London tour, these are sold out long before the tickets are out.

Interesting entry-level article, but I wonder how well informed it is, as it states the Alexandra Palace line closed in 1952. It closed temporarily, but struggled on till July 1954. I lived next door to the station, and travelled on the last train.

My uncle ran a campaign to save the railway, but it didn't succeed. Now the Powers that Be are all regretting their stupid, short-sighted decision.

I've been on two of the abandoned station tours and they really are amazing. I also had a visit to the London Transport poster collection and Acton Depot and both were equally interesting. Places are limited and there are only a few openings each year so if you get the chance, it's worth trying to get a place on one.

Several Videos on YouTube on the Mail Railway and there was a documentary on TV a few months back, not sure what channel it was on.
