An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/I6nb1HRdY4uwTZY-ZRA9yA==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The low number of passengers using the station meant that the extension of the platform tunnels could not be justified on financial grounds, and the station remained closed when the line was reopened in 1924. The platforms were removed and the lift shaft was converted for use as a ventilation shaft. City Road was the only twin tunnel station of the C&SLR not to be reconstructed. During World War II, the station was converted for use as an air-raid shelter.

abstract
  • The low number of passengers using the station meant that the extension of the platform tunnels could not be justified on financial grounds, and the station remained closed when the line was reopened in 1924. The platforms were removed and the lift shaft was converted for use as a ventilation shaft. City Road was the only twin tunnel station of the C&SLR not to be reconstructed. During World War II, the station was converted for use as an air-raid shelter. The station building remained until the 1960s, when all but the structure immediately around the original lift shaft was demolished. Today little remains to indicate the site of the former station. At track level the short station tunnels remain visible from trains passing through.
