There's also a fascinating article about bodies and deaths in London's underground at http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/column.php?id=135129
Wow.. what a great article. thanks for posting. I'll add a link on the post.
I've been reading a new book titled The Days and Nights of London Now as Told by Those Who Love it, Hate it, Live it, Left it and Long for it by Craig Taylor. It includes a number of people speaking about their experiences with the underground and as well as one piece about the woman whose voice announces the stations.
As usual I have an "oldie but a goodie" to add to your list: The Death Of Laurence Vining by Alan Thomas. It has a seemingly impossible murder in a tube station elevator as it's primary mystery.
What fun, Janet. It's not a mystery, but neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE is a wonderful book set in the tube.
