This is the story of a now-disused branch of the Underground
between Holborn and Aldwych. Although just a quarter of a mile
long, it was a hopeless enterprise from the early 20th century
beginnings and never covered its costs. For such a small stretch of
railway, it has a surprisingly colourful history, especially during
wartime and when its lengthy disused spaces have been used for
experimental design work and film jobs. In an attempt to make
something more of it, extension of the branch frequently beckoned
but never came. The station at Aldwych and the running line to
Holborn remain today, but not for passengers.
