I found this: http://www.southdowns.eu.com/uploads/w600/813.jpg
You might be interested. Its a 3d plan of bond street, after all the upgrade and crossrail work is done. The glassy bits are what's there now. Slightly grey glass is the Jubilee line, and the red is obviously the Central line. If you look carefully, you can even see the disused lift shafts, and their (truncated) access to the platforms. Yellow is the station upgrade scheme. Blue is the connection to crossrail. The picture is a bit confusing in the middle, but note that blue is above the Central line (red), while yellow is below the central line. The yellow arm at the top left, is presumably just for emergency access, as it goes from what looks like a lift/stair shaft, straight to the escalator interchange level, not the MIP interchange level below it (the yellow mess in the middle, under the blue). The most interesting bit is that funnel tube going from right to left near the bottom of the picture. It looks like the yellow bit - the new escalator route - has to duck under it, then step up so that it can still go over the running tunnel. My guess is that the funnel tube is the post office railway, but that's disused and out of date, so why have they awkwardly ducked under it, instead of just cutting through it? It makes much more sense than the plans in the crossrail site. Why can't they do all their 3D plans like this, rather than in that awkward way they do? The moorgate one is a right mess - how you get to the northern line is indecipherable. |

Bond Street is one of those stations named after a non-existent place.
There is Old Bond St & New Bond St - but no Bond Street. In fact there are Old Usenet Users and Bold Usenet Users, but there are no Old, Bold Usenet Users. Thanks for the link to the map! |
