Adventures in Zone Seven
A couple of years ago, I made up some extra bits of tube-map for reasons adequately explained in the original post.
It's a bit bleedin' previous to discover that LRT has been at that sort of thing for many years.
Also: Pictures of a startlingly twee Highgate station.

What you can hear:
0:00 Starting off with silence - a transformer hum can be heard from distant signalling equipment.
0:06 An initial rush of air is heard as air starts being pushed through the baffles in the lift shaft.
0:23 The rush of air becomes a roar, as more air is pumped through the shaft by the piston action of a train running down the tunnels below.
0:42 The wind dies down and a train can be heard passing through the station in the distance. It's a little louder than in real life as the microphones were picking up vibrations through the floor.
0:54 The wind starts again - now it's being sucked back down the shaft as the train moves away down the tunnel.
1:32 Back to silence again.
Between 0:09 and 0:20 you can hear some ghostly whispering and clattering in the distance. This I'm afraid is nothing more than me and my guide in a different part of the station setting up camera equipment. If you're going to listen to this late at night and you're alone, you may want to reconsider - it sounds seriously creepy! You have been warned...
