Part of one of several models of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, as orginally planned (not necessarily as built/about to be built). Photographed at London's Transport Musuem Depot. This is where the line crosses the M25 on the Northern approach to the Dartford crossings - passing above the LTS lines and northbound carriageway from the tunnels but beneath the approach viaduct to the Queen Elizabeth II bridge.

London's Transport Musuem Depot has a large number of London Underground maps of different ages, unfortunately I could not get a decent angle to photograph most of them due to their location in narrow alleyways of racking. The maps shown in this picture all date from the period when the Piccadilly Line extension to Heathrow was under construction.
