There could well be a small passageway between buck house and perhaps

In the past I have speculated that such a passage exists between the
palace grounds and Hyde Park Corner station. It is pure speculation,
based on the proximity (and the fact that no other stations are anywhere
near as close).

Down Street is nearer, and also benefits from not having passengers or
maintenance staff poking about.

Wouldn't such a thing be common knowledge among the maintenance people
who walk the line, or are they well trained in not noticing things.

Perhaps you'll find that none of them are ever told to walk Down
Street Siding, which is said to continue to Buckingham Palace.

There is a passage at the end of Down Street siding which leads on to the
crossover between the Eastbound & Westbound Piccadilly Line at Hyde Park
Corner. This is used as access for Train Operators to and from a train
that has been stabled in Down Street Siding.

There are no other passageways or so called secret tunnels connecting the
Underground with Buck' House.

A passage to the old War Office bunker down the road is a more likely
candidate isn't it ?
