Note that the map shows both the St Mary's curve and the Watford North curve on the Met

It however doesn't show the Victoria Line - which confused someone on Twitter.

Good Map – I noticed that Greenwich is missing, which at that time supplied power to London’s Tram & Trolleybus network. It was kept active after the network closed in 1962 and was retained to supply standby power and additional power to the Underground particularly during the peaks.
The power cables travel through the Blackwall Tunnel to reach the underground. When we had our power supply problems on the Central in the early 90’s, it was assumed these cables were at fault. The problem was allegedly traced to a fault in the cable from Lots Road.
The site of the Power Station at Neasden is now occupied by a local school.

Greenwich was presumably "missing" as it wasn't a London Underground supply at the time.

Watford North curve still there, we track record it every 8 weeks. St Mary's curve, of course, sadly gone but we used to record that too on and of the East London Line

The power cables travel through the Blackwall Tunnel to reach the underground. If you travel by rail from Lewisham to Nunhead, there's London Underground-style signs by the track warning of high voltage power cables beneath. Are these also cables from Greenwich? |
