Episode notes

About this episode

London’s transport history runs through tunnels, abandoned stations, busy platforms and roads used for centuries. This episode follows ghost stories attached to the Underground and to older forms of travel across the city and its northern outskirts.

The Underground route visits Covent Garden, Elephant and Castle, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Bank, Becontree, Bethnal Green, Hyde Park Corner and Aldgate stations. It also examines the Bakerloo line electric-chair story, British Museum and Holborn stations, and the Jubilee line extension.

Above ground, the episode turns to London’s phantom bus, a ghostly carriage race associated with Enfield and Barnet, and the Enfield Flyer. The discussion keeps station and transit history separate from staff reports, passenger accounts and urban legend while showing how daily travel can produce lasting supernatural folklore.
