Did you manaage to turn the lights on, or are those bright lights your own rig? Quality pics though.

I think they are on a timer. I did some work at Euston and you could sometimes see the lights on through an air shaft which comes out track side. Theres a spiral staircase next to the Morrisons in Camden which goes down into the chambers below.

I did have a look in the southern end of the rathole as well.

Yes mate, the lights are sensory, I did noticed a massive “M” on the side of a warehouse style building when I looked up through one of the shafts haha

Maybe thats what you saw then. There's a square shaped open air bit and next to it is a spiral staircase - just don't go up there without a key for the gate.
We caught a tresspasser walking down the tracks from Euston, pissed out of his head and somehow made it across the live third rail without getting fried.

I could smell something similar to that of a bakery when coming up one of the staircases, not too sure where it comes out

This is where the one I tried comes out

I reckon it’s just really reinforcement mate, not totally sure in all honesty aha

Sort of, but looks like it was added later, to shore up after there was a problem. Interesting that it seems to all be made up from railway track.
