Next Episode of Secrets of the London Underground is
unknown.
Railway historian Tim Dunn and Siddy Holloway from the London Transport Museum explore hidden areas of the London Underground that - despite being just feet away from where millions of people regularly travel - hardly anyone knows about. The pair explore abandoned tunnels, secret bunkers and hidden staircases that have been concealed from public view for years. They will use their unique and privileged access to tell the story of places including London's most clandestine tube station; the former terminus of the world's first electric railway; and a station now only accessible by getting a train driver to stop at just the right place, but which played a key role during the Second World War.
Tim Dunn and Siddy Holloway explore the disused Jubilee Line areas of Charing Cross station, now more famous as a film location. And Siddy walks the Kennington Loop while back at the depot in Acton, Tim looks at some original plans for other loops elsewhere on the network.
Tim Dunn and Siddy Holloway discover the hidden world of the Waterloo & City, the only line entirely underground. And Siddy explores abandoned Mark Lane, by the Tower of London.
