Description: | This large-scale model of Oxford Circus station shows the complex layout of the various platform tunnels and escalators and their relationship to the ticket halls. It was made and put on display at the Science Museum during the early 1960s, to show the scope of the work that needed to be carried out at Oxford Circus station during construction of the Victoria line. The main work was to allow direct interchange between the existing Bakerloo line platforms and the new Victoria line, which ran parallel and the cross-passage interchange to the existing Central line platforms.
A major reconstruction of the ticket halls and escalators also took place. The interchange on to the Victoria line at Oxford Circus opened in 1969. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | c1963 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
