That was my only reason for being there. Luckily, we were allowed to wander about and examine the old station at will.

Tunnel = cool
Machine making the rope = cool
Rope = not so cool
Still fun tho - it feels like wry and I spent the whole day underground as we went to see the 'Bunker' installation in The Curve@Barbican (a recreation of a mining bunker, complete with control rooms and railway)

I went on Friday, the tunnel was great and I also loved the cord making machines - an interesting piece of engineering.
A note for anyone wanting to see the exhibition if it's saying fully booked - I don't know if it's always the case but no one checked my printed off email booking confirmation so if there is only one or two of you, you could probably get in if you just turn up.

that'll teach me. Offering my other ticket to my mum has sent me on a roundabout of a pickle. Consequently, these tickets are available:
2 tickets
Chord, Conrad Shawcross
at Kingsway Tram Subway, Southampton Row, Holborn, London, WC1B 4AP.
on Wednesday 28th Oct 4:30-5:00 pm.
pm me if you'd like them.

Mmm...strange, they didn't check anyone at all on Friday evening and I would say there were at least 20 people. I must admit, I was surprised.

I have tickets for Saturday, not sure if I can be bothered. Can someone convince me that it's worth it?

Went today - quite impressive.
We did get names checked off a list, so don't bank on this. Whether they would accept additional people just turning up, I don't know. I would have thought it's more so they can count people out again (to make sure that they haven't left someone who wandered into a dark corner down there...)
We were pretty much free to wander round the tunnel / station bit.
Incidentally, since i'm feeling pedantic - I'm quite sure that the underground map on the wall (see picture on the U75 home page) is a relatively recent addition for a film or something - firstly i've seen pictures taken on earlier tours, and it wasn't something anyone had drawn attention to. An underground map that size on the far wall wouldn't have been any use to travellers when the subway was open, as you'd have needed to stand where the trams ran to read the small print, and i don't think that would have been considered a good idea, even in the 50s, and finally, it's got bits of the central line shown as 'under construction' that opened in 1947, and the subway closed in 1952...
