If its got cars in it are you thinking about the right subway ?

What I actually was implying was is there a case for using the unused
section of the old Kingsway subway for the central London stabling/servicing
of trams during the off peak.

The ramp down into it and the space is already there (so is the rails for
that matter althought they are probably past it!) and I believe it is still
owned either by the GLC (or whatever Kens barmy army is called these days)
or TfL.


Actually the pictures he
http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/s...y/index2.shtml
do seem to show that a lot more of it still exists unused (by cars)
than I thought.

Don't know if wide enough to take two modern trams side by side and
still have space for a walk way though.

The "dead end" nature of the space today might make it too much of a
risk to use (imagine four or six tram sets being stuck down there for
a year because someone blew up the entrance ramp or something) unless
they constructed another ramp into it somewhere near where the car
section ends today.
