The LTM published their webpage today announcing the new location – Highgate – as the new addition to the Hidden London programme. You’ll be able to visit this Tube station that never was in Summer 2017.
The tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 23rd November, but newsletter subscribers and Friends of the Museum, will be able to purchase them earlier …

The London Transport Museum announced this week, that tickets to go and visit the abandoned station Down Street station are coming soon … except at the eye-watering rate of £75, not even including a booking fee!
If you want information on ALL the abandoned Tube stations in London then you’ll want to get a copy of our Disused Tube App, which lists and has details of them all.
Down Street
Details over on the LTM website here, of course you can just follow Station Master Geoff when he got to take a trip down there earlier this year …
Our new App is out … today! Introducing Disused Tube.
There are over 50 old Tube stations in London, and we’ve listed them all; where they are, why they closed, what you can still see today – along with a Disused Tube map, audio descriptions for each one, and also two walking tour maps that will guide you if want to to hit the streets on your feet and go and find them yourself.
You can download the App here (it works on the iPhone as well as the iPad – on which it looks great) and learn about where London’s disused Tube stations are!
(With huge thanks to to Mark Noad for the exclusive design of the Abandoned Stations Map, have a look at his website for other alternative tube map designs.)
Articles about this also over on Londonist, and Metro Online too.

Station Master Geoff for Londonist got to go down Down Street station the other week, and here’s the video that was produced – inside an abandoned station!
Yesterday, we got to pop down into Down Street. A video for Londonist is coming, but in the meantime, some stills from the video that we quite like.
Oh, and London Reconnections has an extensive write-up, IanVisits with some lovely photos.and the BBC a piece on the commercial venture which is why we all got to go down there in the first place.
A complete set of photos from the video shoot is on Flickr here.

The London Transport Museum today announced that they are, for the first time ever, selling tickets for tours of the old abandoned Charing Cross station that was on the Jubilee Line, and to the tunnels at Clapham South – one of eight deep level tunnels that were built to be turned into a second ‘express’ Northern Line, which then never happened.
It runs on various dates throughout the summer – June and July (Charing Cross) and October (Clapham South) and tickets are quite pricey at £25 and £30, but we can easily see them being snapped up and rapidly selling out!
Charing Cross is here on the website, and Clapham South is here. But tickets don’t go on sale until this Friday – the 17th of April.

Whilst our previous post may – we admit – have been an April fool jape, we can honestly say that the Disused Tube app is tantalisingly close to being ready for release, and we expect it to hit the App store sometime this month in April …

… because sometimes, the best place to take a picture of an abandoned Tube station (here – Osterley Park & Spring Grove) is from the cab of a train – taken with permission!
This is going into our ‘Abandoned Stations’ App which we’re currently working on, and will be released later this year …

Geoff’s popular series of videos for Londonist featuring all the lines of the Tube is being released on DVD just in time for Christmas! It features re-edited versions of all the videos, 20 minutes of out-takes and extras and an all new ‘Abandoned Stations‘ video.
You can order your copy here from the Londonist website.
