A
few yards up the Kingsway from Holborn tube station lies a strange strip of
road that seems to belong to an earlier time era. As you peer through the
railings of the now permanently locked gates, you will see a strip of cobbled
roadway leading down to a dark and seemingly disused tunnel. But what's most
striking about this road is not the cobbles - it's the railway that shares the
road space. Closer examination will show that between the rails lies a conduit,
which was originally used to supply power to the trams that originally used
this roadway

Building the tramway in a stream punk way, the new underground tram
station. Although not incorporated into the model yet. I build the station with
over ground entrance not unlike the Holborn entrances of the past. Once completed it will sit neatly in front of Russell Square Underground train station

Exiting in the sunlight at Bloomsbury square gardens and of course the famous Kingsways
