Are tube stations those served by tube trains, in which case Finchley
Central is one, or is the those where the platforms are in tubes,
in which case most of the JLE stations aren't (as the JLE platforms
seem to be either above ground or in box-like structures)?

"Tube"[TM] stations might sometimes have canopies
but tube stations generally have tunnel roofs.


Tube - even restricting it to the London Underground - is hugely
overloaded. Being pedantic about it strikes me
as foolish.
