I seem to remember the train in the film was above street level, which makes me
think that bit might have been filmed south of the river, perhaps in Battersea
or Vauxhall. (though locals in Ebury Bridge Road told me the film, at least the
bombed bits, was filmed in Chelsea).
If it was a tube train though, I wonder could it have been on what's now the
Hammersmith, on the elevated stretch, by Latimer Road say?

My recollection of "Passport to Pimlico" is that the train was in a cut
and cover tunnel or cutting or both. It is only 40 years ago!

Can't find the original posting, but the location details below were taken
from:

The casting of Passport to Pimlico, while using many familiar Ealing
faces, is particularly happy. The genial grocer, Pemberton (Stanley
Holloway), is admirably contrasted with the timid, precise bank manager,
Wix (Raymond Huntley), while outsiders include a delightfully absurd
history professor (Margaret Rutherford) and a Burgundian duke (Paul
Dupuis) who dashes a girl's romantic dreamt of Dijon with chat about the
trams in the main square and cement factories. Basil Radford and Naunton
Wayne personify Whitehall red tape. The irony of the situation is best
summed up by the grocer's wife who, when it is suggested they are now a
bunch of foreigners, declares: We always were English, and we always will
be English, and it’s just because we're English we’re sticking out for our
right to be Burgundians! Much of the film was shot on an outdoor set built
on a cleared bomb site off the Lambeth Road, a mile to the east of real
Pimlico, although the original title was kept largely for its curious
foreign sounding quality and pleasing alliteration.

No reference to the UndergrounD shots, though. :-(
