Dozens of abandoned tube stations could be reopened as tourist attractions and venues

Entrepreneur Ajit Chambers of the Old London Underground Company has moved a step closer to opening up many of the tube’s abandoned stations.
According to Dave Hill in the Guardian, Chambers said he was ready to begin.
I met with Anthony and Boris a year ago to let you know that I designed a company that will make £40 million for London. The company has now been built, we have found funders; we are using the same engineering teams that are building Crossrail to open these stations up as tourist attractions and venues. I would like your help to get into the first three venues as soon as possible.
Also: here are some 1950’s posters found in a disused lift at Notting Hill Gate station.
