Items related to London's Lost Tube Schemes
Synopsis
Whilst many books have been published about the tube railways that were built in London, this is the first time a book has been devoted to the many schemes that failed, including the notable Morgan Tubes. Using extensive original research the history of these schemes is described. Maps and diagrams of the time are reproduced and complimented by many new maps, specially-drawn for this book. Many proposed alternatives and changes to the tube railways that exist today are also explored. Other interesting and related topics are explored in sidebars, and extensive footnotes provide extra information and references.

From the Inside Flap
In the early days of tube railways in London there was little short of a mad scamble to get new tubes authorised for construction. Private and institutional finance was tempted by the promise of moneymaking schemes. Few in the event made very much and some were just plain scams.
This book reveals over forty unfulfilled tubes that were presented to Parliament between 1880 and the start of the First World War, as well as many proposed variations to the tubes that were constructed.
