They were securely locked up to prevent access. People took the matter into their own hands and cut the chains off the gates so they could get in and shelter from the bombings. Unfortunately this was not 100% safe, and people died when tube stations were hit by bombs.

Yep! You are right! But the crowds said 'we're going DOWN!' [img]smile.gif[/img] and later, they turned the rail cars into food stations for refreshments!! They showed how they built the tunnels (which was BY HAND at that period in time) which is amazing. wow!
