Opened on 30th November 1907, the Aldwych station was initially opened as Strand but then soon renamed due to confusion caused by the name, since at that time Charing Cross station located on the much more salubrious end of the Strand bore the same name. During the Second World War, Aldwych was closed for nearly six years and was used as an air raid shelter and the unused tunnels being used as storage for art and treasures from the British Museum. Over the years, Aldwych often felt the shadow of an overhanging axe due to low patronage and for many years had been run as a peak-hours only service. In 1994, the straw that broke the camel's back was the need to replace the old (original) lifts. Although still in good working order, the lift machinery contained exposed moving parts and high voltage components, the equipment was therefore deemed no longer safe to maintain. Since the refurbishment was estimated to cost between £3 million and £5 million, the number of people who used the station daily (about 600) couldn't justify the cost of the conversion so the line was closed. The last train carrying the general public left Aldwych on the evening of the 30th September 1994, just less than 87 years after being first opened to the public.
