Why? It hasn't been a tube station since 1934. The Brompton Road frontage
went for road widening decades ago. It was used by the TA far longer than it
was a tube station.

I think Mr Offramp was making a typically obtuse reference to the
author of the newspaper article referred to. The author was Ian Drury

well now that you have pointed out it is clear what he meant

but I didn't notice (either) - who reads the name of the author of newspaper
articles?
