Strictly from a tourist's standpoint, does anyone know of any closed
or old tube stops that are open for touring? The nice slow ride
through Mornington Crescent was interesting (slight sarcasm) but I
would love to tour an old out of service tube station thats been
closed for many years. Any body know of any?
Sadly the Health & Safety morons have resulted in visits to closed stations
on the system all but impossible now.
More information on closed stations on the Underground can be found he

There are also instances where stations on open lines are temporarily closed
for months for major work but the trains still pass through. Until a couple
of weeks ago Queensway (Central Line) was shut although I think it has
reopened now.
Lancaster Gate is supposed to be closed and Regents Park closes for lift
work next week I believe.
HTH
