this route recently, I can honestly tell you that you shall not be disappointed!"

Note From David: Alex Farlie, co-creator of the Beck Line, had
the bright idea of incorporating the idea for the Jubilee line Thamesmead
extension, into the Kings Line. Although I haven't started the work (due
to the virus), I'm in the process of designing the track and signalling on
paper. The stations will be Woolwich Arsenal, Plumstead High Street,
Plumstead Gardens, Abbey Wood Central, Thamesmead West (Belmarsh), and
Thamesmead Central.
So it seems finally we have a route which
I beginning to reach an area of London I grew up in. :) -

A very colourful and well designed Kings Cross Station. This is one
of my personal fave's. Note the tube lines merging on the wall,
symbolic of the mass of tunnels under Kings Cross.

Kings Line facts from David...
The route isn't based on any hard
visual evidence - the curve radii are taken from the London A-Z -
"by a very complex calculation (in MS Excel) which always brings it
out far too accurately!" :)
The Route is in Production - Keep watching for more
details and the latest news as soon as we receive it from David - Keep
watching 'The London Tube'
