10:18The Tube Extension That Never Happened
Save referenceCuriosity Gap
A Tube train is recognised on sight, so seeing a faded one on an overgrown track in a quiet suburb makes you look twice. The title says the extension never happened, so you want to know what went wrong. That's what you click for.
'Never Happened' tells transport fans this is a lost plan, not a current one, and leaving out the line and the place keeps them guessing which extension it is.
The ghostly, see-through train on real overgrown track shows what's missing, and Nick's thumb jabbing back at it says he's standing where the trains should have run.
When your story is about something that was planned but never built, go to the real site and fade a ghost of it into the photo. Point at the gap and let the title name what was lost.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
