	Growing Pains: Thirty Years in the History of Davis - Chapter 8
		Initially known as the Davis Subway, the Richards underpass was built in 1917, as part of State Route 6, one of the first roads in the state highway system.
		The Richards underpass became a symbol of the community's small-town atmosphere, and opponents argued the underpass wouldn't need to be widened if the city resisted the devotion to automobile travel and rampant growth that afflicted so many communities.
		Davis was a natural candidate for an underpass when the highway came to town, because it was located at the junction of two major interregional railroad lines that on a typical day brought about 64 trains through town.

	Underground History - Kingsway Underpass
		The tram underpass originally ran from the Holborn entrance, though a subterranean station at Holborn and then down the length of the Kingsway, passing through another station at Aldwych before finally emerging to the surface immediately under Waterloo Bridge.
		The subway was closed briefly in the early '30s so that the original arched roofs could be removed and the roadway dropped to accommodate double-decker trams and was re-opened in 1931 by the King.
		The road underpass at this stage had been built within the confines of the original tram tunnel!

		The space under it is the baggage and trucking subway that runs at right angles to the tracks at the line of 45th St. (The word "subway" is used here to mean an underpass and "trucking" to mean handtrucks.) This passage is about 10 feet high and more than 25 feet wide.
		As I stated earlier, the subway and railroad tunnels are not all that interconnected, and often one needs to go to the surface to cross between closely adjacent underground areas.
		The highway crosses under the Chrystie St subway tunnel, at right angles to the subway line, aligned with private property along the north side of Broome St. The subway contract drawings do not detail any work related to the highway tunnel, since it was built under a separate contract.

	Route 501
		Another advantage of single deckers is that it allows buses to use the Strand Underpass (part of the former Kingsway tram subway) in peak hours to avoid traffic congestion around Aldwych.
		It is probably fair to say that artics have a future in London, and I for one hope the experiment is a success.
		Being single deck is part of the Red Arrow ‘ethos,’ but more capacity is urgently needed.

	Underground History - Kingsway Underpass
		The subway was closed briefly in the early '30s so that the original arched roofs could be removed and the roadway dropped to accommodate double-decker trams and was re-opened in 1931 by the King.
		During this conversion the Aldwych station was lost, however the stretch north of the new ramp to the old exit just north of Holborn remains intact and undisturbed, with the subterranean Holborn station still there today almost as it was the day it closed, just beyond the shut tunnel gates.
		With the increase in use of the car in the late 1940s and 1950s the popularity of the tram system rapidly waned and over small number of years in the 1950s virtually the whole network was disbanded, with the last tram leaving Kingsway tunnel itself on the 5th July 1952.

	Scarborough RT
		Almost all of the line is elevated or at grade; a short underground section is located just north of Ellesmere station to underpass the rail tracks.
		The station is on four levels: RT (top), buses, entry concourse, subway, with the RT and subway tracks parallel.
		Because of another curve at the east end of the station, it was not possible to add a scissors crossover there, so the station was reduced to a single terminal track with the loading platform on one side and the unloading platform on the other.

	Abandoned Stations : Lexington Ave (BMT) unfinished platforms
		The Broadway subway plan was changed in 1915 to route both tracks into 60 St and most significantly to cross the East River by a tunnel just north of the Queensborough Bridge.
		The Dual System plan adopted in 1913 assigned the Lexington to the IRT company, and added another subway, the Broadway line, for the Brooklyn company, crossing the Lexington at 59 and 60 Streets.
		The Lexington Ave subway was already under construction, so to avoid disruption later, the Public Service Commission ordered the two single track lines built just from one side of the work zone to the other.
