In
the early days of tube railways in London there was little
short of a mad scramble 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.
