Ghost Stations of the London Underground

Posted by chrisd on from the they're-just-waiting-for-gaiman dept.

PinchDuck writes "Check out this site to get a tour of London Underground stations that have been abandoned during the century+ history of the commuter system. You can apparently still get to some of them! (though not by taking the Tube, obviously). I wish I had found this site 2 weeks ago, when I went to London, but now my geeky explorations must wait until my next visit (having just flown back in to Detroit today)."

    Yes, but be careful if you do try to visit them. Q and Bond might accidentally shoot you during one of those VR simulations.*

    On the other hand, I wouldn't mind finding the simulator unattended and programming it to have a little tryst with Seven of Nine and Xev while Natalie Portman pours hot grits down my pants...

    I would have posted something funny here, but chrisd beat me to it without even a chance. :-)

    Neverwhere was good... I just finished it for the second time a couple of weeks ago.

    Ok, I like Aston-Martins. I also like BMWs. However, the company has nothing to do with this--the concept of an invisible car is just stupid.
