Abandoned Tube Stations (Pt.1)

The tube station Park Royal & Twyford abbey and Northfields & Little ealing are two other abandoned stations both on the Piccadilly line

I swear there's a completely abandoned station called Epping forest on the Epping-Ongar Branch

I’m going inside of one soon

Where is the park where they talk about Aldgate East

The Euston Station is now probably gone, cleared for the HS2 platforms

Ongar station should be still on the central line

Geoff, this is wonderful - a fine piece of research beautifully presented. Well done

When visiting the Brick Lane area in 1996 there was still much more evidence of the Bishopsgate station and all the tracks running to it. I remember lots of small stalls for the weekend market being located inside the railway arches below the tracks. Some years later, when I wanted to do photographs of this unique area, most of it was gone ;(
Watching your video I had lots of memories of my latest tour in the area, but that memory is a lie as my latest tour was a virtual one done with "street view".
I also have memories of the area around the "Cheers" pub in Boston or Fisherman's Wharf in SF, although I'm really sure I've never been to the US ;)

Shame they didn't give you access

Gurrrr!

Ongurrr!

Great video Geoff

I once travelled to northweald with my parents in about 1969 on the old electric tube train.

Yes geoff

I like this video 👍🏻

Wheres lovely vicki?

I think the colour of the tiles is oxblood not terracotta red

The North Weald to Ongar branch is indeed abandoned but it’s not disused

Me and my dad accidentally came across the Ongar station while out on a drive, great little station.

Never knew about ONGAR STation, never even heard of the place

These %£);)‘!! knocked on he letters off York Road, so that no one can read what it says. So now it’s even more obvious what it said. Well done.

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Looks like York Road now gone at surface level, and Euston will follow shortly in 2022

Fun fact: South kentish Town has an escape room in the old station. Geoff should do it.

Abandoned Tube Stations 🚉

Pleassssssseeeeee

Can we have a underground map way fully made please I really want too have a big one some of them you forgott

by 2050, Euston will be combined with king's cross to create a mega-station even bigger than bank
(its planned anyway). It will come with a new line as well

Bull and Bush is not an abandoned station, it had a ventilation shaft

Is there a compeition to see how quickly you can visit all the abandoned stations?

But abandoned means that there should be no one there

Hi Geoff Ma

S

York road in an industrious area, I'm sure you meant industrial! 🤣

How on Earth could they get it so wrong to close Epping and Ongar in 1994? Madness surely.

I've always been interested in the closed stations on the Underground, so I clicked... only to find Geoff paying a visit to one of my favourite places, the Epping Ongar Railway! Go there if you're a bus nut too! (Still on tenterhooks about if they've survived the pandemic.)

Geoff:the picadilly has the highest number of abandoned tube stations
Metropolitan line:am i a joke to you?

Top Video as always Geoff. I was just wondering about 1 thing about Down Street Station. I have been using the Piccadilly Line a fair amount recently and took an essential Journey from Acton Town to Kings Cross. I knew about Down Street (from watching this video so many times because it's so good and informative) and thought If it was like York Road where you can see the remains of it. On a Northbound train from Hyde Park Corner about 1-1.5 minutes in there was a large open space big enough to fit a platform and I think I saw cream coloured Tiles in the tunnel through the window. Could this be the Northbound Platform of Down Street? Just wanted to know whether it is possible to see it from a train or not

Interesting! And ... I expected you to break into the hotel and find that Secret Stairwell.

i stockholm we only have ONE station that isnt used, called kymlinge. it was started in the 70s when the new red line were built to the suburbs. kymlimge was supposed to be a small town with alot of govermentual branch Offices and important companies like asea and aga aswell as housing and food stors etc, but instead they were moved to more rural part of sweden. so the station was left unfiished

As a kid living in London WI (Baker Street - Chiltern Court) The Ongar Tube station on the Map seemed like it was at the end of the world.

Love this series!
