According to London Underground folklore, There was a secret train that operated during the early 1900’s that ran through the underground tunnel at whitechapel. The train collected the dead from The Royal London hospital, then delivered them to a secret place where nobody knows, even to this day. The Tunnel is now bricked up. Other claims suggest, that there was an underground tunnel that linked to a secret morgue at Whitechapel Station but has since been sealed up. Victorian and Edwardian London was rife with poverty and disease, so much so that the hospitals were overflowing with cadavers. Because of this knowledge, a body train and an underground temporary morgue is extremely plausible. There is a rumour that years ago, empty rooms under the ticket hall at Whitechapel were also sometimes used as a morgue.
