London Underground History - Disused Stations on London's Underg. Hywel Williams Since moving to live near London a few years ago, one of my interests has been the London Underground, the oldest and one of the busiest underground railway networks in the world. I'm not a train spotter by any means, but I find the history and background of London's subterranean railway fascinating.

One of the things I find most interesting is the changing history of the railway, of which there is still much hidden evidence. For example, look through the window as you travel between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn on the Central Line and you'll see a station - where no passengers have alighted since 1932. This used to be British Museum station. Or perhaps you may notice the tunnel wall change from cast iron tubing to bricks as you travel on the Piccadilly Line between Green Park and Hyde Park Corner. There are about 40 abandoned or relocated stations on the Underground network along its entire 255 miles (408Km) of trackway - some subsurface and some above ground. Fun ...

For those of you who were intrigued, this is the post that will answer some of your questions and (hopefully) give you some new ones. I cant really recall where I first heard about urban exploration (to be abbreviated as UE from now on).

I was probably playing around on google on one of my more restless days, searching for things like “adventure” and “explore”. Either way, I stumbled my way onto a page that mentioned UE and gave a brief description of it. I thought to myself, “Hey, I like to explore! And I live in an Urban environment!” The first step for me was a specific google search. Does that not sound freaking AWESOME? At this point my interest level went from “Hey, this is neat” to “OHMYGOD, how do I do this?” Urban Exploration, as I understand it, is quite a simple concept. There is a strong code of ethics behind UE that follows some other organization’s motto quite closely.

Neat, huh? Go explore now! Sleepycity | photography urban exploration. Index - Illicitohio.com. Deadmalls DOT com. Ohio trespassers. Abandoned Britain - Photographing Ruins.

Disaster comes in differing dark shades of bleak and deadly flavors of horrendous dismay, such as environmental, economic, and natural.

Across the globe, there are hundreds of ghost towns and places which were abandoned due to disasters. Chernobyl Disaster In 1986, Reactor 4 exploded at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Four workers were killed instantly. Steam explosions and fires released about 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere. Prypiat, Ukraine The nearby city of Pripyat, Ukraine, was home to the workers of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The Chernobyl explosion happened at around one in the morning when most of the 50,000 people in Pripyat were sleeping. 40 hours later, residents were ordered to evacuate.

Pripyat had one hospital, 3 clinics, 21 schools, 3 cultural centers, 10 gyms, 10 shooting galleries, 3 indoor pools, and one railway station. Pripyat is still mostly abandoned. Centralia, Pennsylvania Welcome to hell ? Varosha, Cyprus Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base Volc?
