Talk:London Underground

Hello. I have an interesting question which has been dicussed on the London Wikia in relation to the London Underground. How could a station be classified as below ground level? There are a few stations which I am unsure about whether they could be classed as below ground. Finchley Road station is an example. It is situated in a cutting which on one side is formed by the basement level floor of the large Sainsbury's store. On the other, a brick retaining wall on top of which are small houses. The station is in the open apart from the large single canopie which covers the whole station apart from the western edge of the platforms towards West Hampstead. Unlike nearby Queens Park tube station, Finchley Road is situated right next to the tunnel portals but I do not know whether these tunnels cover any portion of the platforms. A final thing to note is that the track may be at a slight slope as it heads towards the tunnel through the station itself. I am not saying this station is in a tunnel although I do think it is 'below the level of the adjacent ground on all sides. 2.26.154.119 16:33, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
