Disused Underground.




Linked to the last post of secret underground tunnels i have also found this website. With the history of London Underground and its disused stations.


------------------------------------------------------------

There are about 40 abandoned or relocated stations on the Underground network along its entire 255 miles (408Km) of trackway - some subsurface and some above ground. Some have vanished without trace whereas others are almost intact, grimey time capsules of the era when they were closed.

Secret London Tunnels?


The myth and reality of another London existing under our feet breeds seductive stories.
They involve the dark, the dirty, the unknown, urban myths, and the fear and suspicion of what 'they' might be up to.
Chapman Pincher in the Daily Express in 1959 wrote of
Ten miles of reinforced tunnels built under London after the last
war at enormous cost ... below Whitehall, Leicester Square, Holborn and Victoria.

The Buckingham Palace Tunnel

There are several rumoured escape tunnels from Buckingham Palace. One is said to run under Green Park to the Piccadilly Tube line, giving the royals a speedy escape route to Heathrow. Another is said to give access to the Victoria Line - which runs under the Palace - for a similar escape, and one is said to lead to Wellington Barracks just over the road.

More likely is the tunnel running along the Mall to the underground citadel called Q-Whitehall which is rumoured to stretch as far north as Holborn. Supposed evidence of this complex is the huge extractor fan outside the Gent’s toilets in the ICA, which the ICA say is nothing to do with them, and the top-secret fortress on the corner of the Mall and Horse Guards Road which is said to be an entrance to Q-Whitehall. This complex also probably connects to 10 Downing Street via the atom-bomb-proof bunker which was built under the Ministry of Defence building at a cost over £110 million in the early 1990s.

Huan Di Zhang and Hui Gao asked Westpac Bank for a $10,000 (£4,900) overdraft but instead received a deposit of $10m (£4.9m), according to the New Zealand Press Agency.

The pair are believed to have owned a petrol filling station in the North Island tourist resort of Rotorua, which has since shut down and been put into receivership.

"The individuals associated with this account are believed to have left New Zealand," said Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey of New Zealand Police.

"Police (are) working through Interpol to locate those individuals," he went on.

"Westpac Bank has recovered some of the money which had been inappropriately withdrawn."

He did not say how much had been recovered and refused to confirm any other details about the case.
