Historical background

Closed Tube Stations
// London underground holds the seventh place in the world by the number of stations — there are 270 stations. And if you add to this list 77 stations that no longer exist or have left the subway, London will quickly jump to the third place, this says something about how much the land is dug under the British capital. Why so many stations were closed? About a half of them are closed due to low passenger traffic. The fifth part was unnecessary, because other stations were opened nearby, almost as much — due to various technical reasons and reconstructions. Four stations were closed during the war, but never returned to service. And with one station came just the opposite, it returned from oblivion during the war, and was closed again five years later. Not all of these stations have been demolished, some of them are abandoned, some filled with shops, and thirty stations are still working, but now they work with the common trains. The closed half of the Charing Cross station is most fortunate — movies are often being shoot on it. In addition, somewhere in the parallel imaginary London 62 stations live, which were conceived, but never built; it's the whole city, the amount comparable to the entire network of stations in St Petersburg! It is notable that the most frequent reason for abandoning these stations is that the company failed to raise funds and the construction permission expired. Fourteen stations remained on paper because of it.
