Excellent! I always wondered what was going on with that station. |
At 1914, you left out the renaming of CC to CC(Strand). This makes 1915 somewhat confusing before coffee kicks in. They should really split CC into two stations again. It's a worthless interchange without the Jubilee in-between. |
If you want to get to Charing Cross from London Bridge (as I frequently do), it's quicker to go above ground. Except I *always* forget that fact and jump on the Jubilee Line thinking it stops at Charing Cross. It's been baffling me for ages why I always think that and now I know. I don't remember them shutting the station. Hopefully from now on I will. |
Damn, this is fascinating! I don't suppose you know of a 3D sort-of map type thing online, where I can get a better visual idea of how deep the lines and stations are in relation to each other? |
Chz: Oops, I edited out the 1914 CC(Strand) renaming by mistake, Full text now restored. Sarah: Thanks for asking, because I've found a 3D sort-of map type thing online! It's here. And more 3D stations here. Fascinating indeed. |
I remember ducking into Charing Cross once after a long day to see whether it was true that some politician had resigned. I came in off the Strand and thought, great, there's a huge TV screen - it's bound to be on that. It took me over a minute to realise I was staring at a Sky News poster... |
oh no - I can't get the 3D link to work. Now I am fascinated. |
Quink: Oops again. Link should be fixed now. |
The Piccadilly Circus woodcut is superb and really charming. Btw - thanks for the link to Hackney Lookout, but I think you've added in an extra http in the address... |
I'm really not doing well on links today, sorry. That's the third one I've messed up. But the link to Hackney Lookout should work now (and is highly recommended, everybody ). |
that's great - cheers dg! Really interesting. Now, someone should put all the pictures together so we have a subterranean map of the entire underground. In flash. Now that would rock. |
Links on DG's 9:06 post now broken.
