What is to be done with the Kingsway tunnel after

the last tram thunders through it on Saturday of next week, to make that dramatic emergence up a steep slope into the upper air at the junction of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road ? It is useless as an air-raid shelter, being far too shallow. I hope motorists will be given the run of it. There should be no more difficulty in removing the tram-lines, if indeed they need to be removed, than on the many roads from which trams have already disappeared, and the advantage of a short cut from the Embankment to a thoroughfare which leads directly to Euston and therefore almost directly to St. Pancras and King's Cross would be great.
