In these days of terrorist threats and flooding from global warming

routes for London's commuters - by unkinking (or should that be
dekinking the Central Line) or allowing the Drain to be developed as a
cheaper Chelsea Hackney variant.

I think it's a good idea to keep the vault where it's surrounded by traffic
jams and a large concentration of police and firemen.
