London's Lost Northern Line Extension

0:00On April 4, London's underground, with its 272 stations across 11 lines and 402 kilometers of track, almost got. A lot bigger back in the 1930s. Planners eyed an extension for the Northern Line's Mill Hill East Branch, adding three new stops, broccoli hill, Elstree South, and Buschie Heath as. The big finale northwest of Edgewear. The project moved fast, linking up branches and easing commutes, with tunnels dug right through Edgewear and arches, at half-raised for broccoli hills, elevated platform. World War II slammed the brakes, halting all that momentum amid the chaos. Post-war Greenbelt rules killed new building nearby, scrapping the whole thing for good in 1954, though crumbling via dud ruins at, broccoli hills still whisper what might have been.
