  == City and Brixton Railway ==  David,  Whilst I utterly agree with you that there have been dozens of proposed but not constructed schemes, there are only a handful of schemes which received royal assent over the years; the only three I can think of are the C&B;, the North West London, and the North East Suburban Electric Railways.  They surely count in a different class, as legally they were allowed to be constructed, and were only not because of poor finance.  This is unlike say the more extended version of the Fleet Line (stages 3 and 4) which from what I can tell [i]never[/i] even received royal assent, and remained mere ideas.  It is unfortunate that there is no seperate artical for tube proposals (and hopefully someone will rectify this soon) but I'm convinced that the railways which were allowed to be built should be detailed.  The information on these is also quite hard to come by.  I intend to revert the artical for informations sake, but feel free to contact me at albanianposse at hotmail dot co dot uk to discuss this more.  I too am on DD's forum if youre a member, so maybe see you there!  Benedict
