The book about the Aldwych branch should be published in February 2009, and will be called (imaginatively) The Aldwych Branch. It will be hardback, published by Capital Transport, and cost £19.95. It will have about 110 pages, and include specially-drawn maps, copies of original plans, and plenty of photos in both colour and B&W. Front cover image can be found at www.ekmpowershop1.com/ekmps/shops/transport/the-aldwych-branch-355-p.asp.

None of the plans for extending the Aldwych branch to Waterloo (except for the Chelsea-Hackney proposal) ever proposed making a two-way connection at Holborn because of the difficulties described. This wasn't quite correct. A proposal from the 1930s would have added a new platform at Holborn, probably with a junction on the SB line. (Update to maintain accuracy of thread!)
