The Railway Executive Committee meets in an underground room in the disused Down Street Underground station during the Second World War. Frank Pick, vice chairman of the London Transport Passenger Board Executive, is fourth from right. Down Street Underground station, off Piccadilly, provided the perfect central and safe location for the committee headquarters. Accommodation included a telephone exchange and eating and sleeping facilities. The station was also used by the Cabinet before the Cabinet War Rooms under Whitehall were ready. Down Street had not been used as a station since 1932.
