Synopsis
Railway historian Tim Dunn (The Architecture The Railways Built) teams up with Siddy Holloway from the London Transport Museum to explore the disused parts of London's tube network, from abandoned stations to redundant tunnels and lifts, often hidden right under passengers' noses.
Episode 8: Shepherd's Bush
The modern exterior of Shepherd’s Bush underground station in west London gives no hint of its history, but it was once an important transport hub. It was the terminus of the Central London Railway, which ran all the way to Bank (just two old pence for the journey) and now forms part of the Central Line.
Siddy Holloway and Tim Dunn explore a wealth of delights including old glass tiles, disused corridors and ventilation shafts (this pair do love an old ventilation shaft) and a part of the station the public will never see. Tim also reports on London Transport’s commitment to commissioning original artworks to enrich travellers’ experience.
