  Underground History - Kingsway Underpass
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.
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.
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.
