Info Post
Following on from my post about  3D cutaway diagrams of London Underground, a number of you seemed to really like the diagrams and Ed found a poster & postcards of more illustrations from London Transport Museum we he very kindly scanned and sent to me to share:

Charing Cross District Line Cutaway

The one above is from a poster when the "new" Charing Cross London Undereground station on the District Line opened in 1914 and is by C. Shand

I particularly liked the gorgeous postcards below of Tottenham Court Road, Bank and Monument stations all by Duncan Lamb

Also here's a wider illustration from the modernisation which took place at Bank & Monument

The poster for the illustration immediately above is available at London Transport Museum's shop

Laurence Menear has written a book London's Underground Stations - A Social and Architectural Study which features a number of cutaway diagrams including some of the above.

Big thanks to Ed, and I'll upload some more in the future, but in the meantime check out a mirrored version which has more cutaways from an old Geocities site.
