The central line is only one flight of escalators, so it must only

thing on the platform be the bottom corner of the tram tunnel?


Doubt it - the tram tunnel is huge** so it would be a lot wider than
that. And its not very deep anyway, much shallower than the central
line.


Did the tram tunnel extend so far north anyhow? *


If it's what I'm thinking of it pops out at the junction of
Southampton Row and Theobalds Road, in which case yes.


There's a map herehttp://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites/k/kingsway_tram_subway/index....


You've got to laugh at the GLC flood control centre. I wonder what
genius decided to locate it in one of the first places that would
flood? Why didn't they just go the whole way and locate it in a tube
station? Bunch of idiots.
