Aldwych November 2003
In November 2003 members of CHTL were fortunate enough to visit
the disused station at Aldwych. Lightly used since opening the station retains many original
features. For a detailed history of the station and an excellent collection of photographs
a visit to the
London Underground History site is recommeded.
Since closure in 1994 the station has been used as a film location on
many occasions. The Cravens unit visited the branch in the summer
of 2002 during the making of a drama for Carlton TV.
Looking up in one of the lift shafts.
Aldwych station was never completed; the public
never used some sections of the station. Some tunnels remained un-tiled
Filming had been taking place on the day of our visit.
A train of '72 TS has been stored on the branch for several years. When not in use
for filming it is stabled in the crossover tunnel just south of Holborn.
Recently some sections of the station have been repainted for filming.
