What The Tube Map Could Have Looked Like If Proposals From 1946 Had Been Implemented
The map above shows what the Tube Map might have looked like had proposals from 1946 had been implemented.
The plans are nothing if not ambitious, especially for a country that still had rationing in effect following the devastation of World War 2.

With The Return of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, The Sun Will Finally Set On The British Empire
On October 3rd 2024, the UK agreed to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius ending years of dispute.
