Really Lost London Stations

what about the 'experimental' underground at crystal palace, where they blew the trains along with bellows or something like that.
A vacuum railway? I remember reading about such railways before ... they never worked very well cause of the sheer trouble of keeping a vacuum ...

Well yeah it's got potential
And it could well be essential
But it should be more dramatic if you know what I mean...

Recently Waltham Forest Council have submitted a bid to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for funding the reopening of Lea Bridge station. The submission is connected with the opening this December of a half hourly rail service between Tottenham Hale and Stratford that will pass through Lea Bridge.

From what I remember there is nothing actually there though is there? Apart from an ice rink.

The railway line and the site of the old Lea Bridge station is a bit further on going east. It would be relatively easy to construct a new stopping place there. Its a question of funding. Which is why Waltham Forest Council have applied to the ODPF for funding.
