What's the situation with the station/tunnel nowadays? Can you still gain entry and if so, how/where?

I believe you can get in via the park tunnel entrance, but dont quote me...

Some pictures I took from my visit to the Botanics Station with my OH, 15/06/2008.
Looking into the tunnel
Looking back out from the tunnel
View of the station from the start of the platform
Looking back to where we came in
Looking along to the next set of smoke vents
Stairs on the opposite platform
Stairs on the platform we were on
Teddy bear found on the floor of the tunnel leading to the next station (Kelvinbridge)
Some interesting graffiti
Water leaking into the tunnel next to Kelvinbridge station (its a lot worse than it looks in this picture!)
Calcium carbonate (I think) formations(it was pitch black here, luckily by chance we decided to shine the torch on the wall!)

If, like myself, you had ever worked in the subway, you wouldn't be surprised by the amount of water you see leaking in that photograph.
There are certain stretches of track on our Clockwork Orange where the pumps are constantly on overdrive to keep the water clear of the live rail.
