Kingsway Tram Tunnel on TV

Thanks for that ADW, will be on lates, so I will tape it, ta!

"Disappearing London" has been shown on Sky 3 on Freeview before (which is how I've managed to see it), so they might show this series eventually.

In fact, there's an episode on today: Streatham Ice Rink and Witanhurst House in Highgate, at 1530 today on Sky3 (Freeview version: channel 11), or 0700 tomorrow. The same channel shows The Tube at c.0250 and 0600 daily, at present.

Unfortunately I'm out of the London tv area; however I always can't resist a peek at the still extant subway entrance, complete with conduit tracks, at Southampton Row. I seem to remember tram tracks still in situ at Woolwich too, although this would be going back at least twenty years. Also, regionally, you can sometimes comes across "time capsules" from long abandoned tramway systems, such as at Margate where an old depot, complete with tracks exists on the A28 approach to the town.

I was recently reading about the old original City and South London Line (the King William Street end); presumably that is just now used as a huge duct for cables etc. And the Tower Subway entrance by the Tower of London is another emblem of a short lived curiosity.

I encountered a photo of one of those streets while cataloging part of the museum photo collection. It went on the unidentified pile, then one of the curators mentioned that they were looking for examples of tram track for a display. He didn't mention if they were planning to take the track with them or just make a copy.
