People will be able to tour platforms on Kingsway station that have remained closed since WW2.

People will be able to tour the platforms and halls of the Kingsway station, which allowed passengers on doubledecker trams to interchange between the once-comprehensive networks north and south of the Thames, which closed after the second world war.
