Which London station does this refer to?

Oh and a sixth. > Easy loading of only those required to travel. Any 'open' station would be crowded with the general public trying to escape London. By using a 'closed' station, passenger control would be a 100 times easier. Trains would then run fast (ordinary Central Line services being suspended) to the designated disembarkation station. THAT'S more difficult to fathom, but my order of preference would be Greenford, or a station with easy access to Northolt airport as some top people would need to be flown out of the UK altogether

I don't know about that, there are definitely other possibilities with direct links to the Underground from government ministries and related organisations.

However, the evacuation plan that I recall and which I believe to still be valid is to use the A10 and head north!. The route would be barred to the general public by armed forces and civilian police.

Of course we really don't know, such plans are drawn and redrawn endlessly as the political landscape and world threats change and evolve. The truth is that many of the locations that the government and civil authorities would have been evacuated to were mothballed at the end of the cold war and have been run down over the last 25 years, dozens have been sold off including MOD bunkers and stores and former GPO/PO deep level communications sites and many civil defence locations. That said a government would not amount to much without keeping a few secrets and no doubt there are still plenty of those which await discovery by future generations.

Not forgetting that there is/was a secret bunker not far from Ongar. There may well be others concealed near the ends of other underground lines.

The bunker in Ongar is open to the public now AIUI. It was the London regional guv one.

It's obvious innit, it's Vauxhall Cross..

That's actually quite interesting. Do you know any more about this, like how they would cram 1000 civil servants onto one train? Imagine doing that with a Class 378..

I think you should have read my whole reply including the first line!

Intersting article about Olympia in wiki, and thanks for the info.

However, l got my info 30 years ago from somebody (now deceased) who spent his whole life working in the Foreign Office. I strongly suspect that the "Ministry of Organising Such Things" would prefer the flexibility of coaching people to various locations than trying to stuff 1,000 civil servants onto one train at Olympia. - a highly obvious and expensive target. In such scenarios, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more expendible than others" Trying to get that number of people to Olympia whilst the roads are crammed with millions trying to flee London isn't really practical. Dedicated Central Line trains running non-stop from British Museum to say South Ruislip, all other C. Line services being suspended, is, l suggest, more "do-able". As this still might be a current plan, it is unlikely to appear in wiki

A little morbid perhaps, but is it really true that HM The Queen's funeral has already been planned down to the last detail? Just something I read somewhere

I would imagine it has been. The Queen Mother's plan was codenamed "Operation Tay Bridge" and I've heard similar phrases exist for other senior Royals.

I wouldn't think there'd be any Chinese dignitaries attending
