Charing Cross, Jubilee Line platform, 19 November 1999 - the last day of service.
Jubilee Line services to Charing Cross, the line's former terminus lasted barely 20 years.
The original route of the extension (at first known as the Fleet Line) was supposed to be from Charing Cross to Aldwych, Ludgate Circus, Cannon St, and eventually through to new tunnels replacing the existing East London line. An experimental tunnel was built at New Cross in 1972/3 to test the then new Bentonite Shield - the tunnel would later have become part of the extension. During the reconstruction of Cannon St in 1968-70, provision was made to allow access to the future Fleet Line.
The Charing Cross spur of the Jubilee Line has been retained for operational purposes at present, though not for passenger services.
