Crash Pad

In case of a runaway train, this area on the Mail Rail network could be used to crash it before it reaches the loading/unloading platforms, which can be seen just ahead through the gloomy tunnels.

 

The Mail Rail tunnels were used to transport mail all around London on a network of underground electric trains. It opened in 1927, and only ceased service in 2003.
