Secrets of the London Underground S03E03 1080p WEB h264-POPPYCOCK

Railway historian Tim Dunn and Siddy Holloway from the London Transport Museum  explore hidden areas of the London Underground that - despite being just feet away from where millions of people regularly travel - hardly anyone knows about. The pair explore abandoned tunnels, secret bunkers and hidden staircases that have been concealed from public view for years. They will use their unique and privileged access to tell the story of places including London's most clandestine tube station; the former terminus of the world's first electric railway; and a station now only accessible by getting a train driver to stop at just the right place, but which played a key role during the Second World War.
Episode Summary: Tim and Siddy are heading to a stunning station you won't find on modern-day tube maps - Dover Street, now known as Green Park. During the Second World War the abandoned passageways and lift shafts of the original station had an incredible second life as the base for the London Passenger Transport Board whose essential work kept London's transport moving against all odds. Next, Siddy delves into the atmospheric, abandoned corridors and platforms of Down Street, closed to the public in 1932, and the scene of some of the most pivotal decisions of World War II.
