There were plans for a second season but from what I heard problems arose between the two companies making the show and their budget was very low. Rumors say that season two is still in production.
Apparently this show was originally planned to be released in 2005 but it was delayed by almost a year because if it had been released that year it would have been ill timed due to the July 2005 London bombings.
I just relies something, The Show was made in 2002 and didn’t get released until 2006, and the CG is dated by others, and yet TV shows and movie from other countries like ReBoot Beast Wars and Toy Story had better CGI effects, Man the UK hasn’t been doing a lot of those at the time.
Funnily enough, Jeffrey Woods's (now finished) Underground Ernie: The Real Stories made Bakerloo similar to Top Hat. He also created other characters based off of Other Underground lines.
I see you have the buzz on Maggie I remember seeing it (not in Disney channel tho) I seen it on TH-cam Love the Theme song and the show even though I only seen a few episodes I remember seeing that episode where she when on a date with a Nerdy Cockroach and that makeover episode
The reason they canceled underground Ernie was due to the fact Joella (the company that made it) went bankrupt at the end of underground Ernie series 1
I remember Underground Ernie back when it was on CBeebies; I obviously enjoyed it because of my love for trains. In fact, I used to have that Snow Go DVD as well! 😃
According to the Underground Ernie wikipedia, the show was in production from October 2001 until December 2003, yet I found it strange how they never aired it until 2006 as whenever I seen the ending credits and it said 2002 along with the company's name I got confused.
It was originally planned to release in 2005, but because of the 7/7 terrorist attacks on the London Underground they had to push the release date back by 1 year

Since you mentioned one of the actors of the show, It has Tim Whitnall in it, He did some show in the past including the narrator of the original UK version of Teletubbies, Thomas & Friends, And his most notable role as Anglo in CITV’s longest running show since the late 80’s Mike & Anglo.
