I suppose this is a replacement for White City station, which closed following a fire in 1959. Not quite. The H&CR station entitled White City was closed after WWII ended, apparently due to bomb damage. |

The H&CR station entitled White City was closed after WWII ended, apparently due to bomb damage. The H&CR station closed in 1959, 14 years after WW2 ended. According to Hywel Williams's site[1], closure followed a fire on one of the wooden platforms. [1] http://www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/woodlane.html -- Richard J.

Because they wouldn't know where to stand until the train stops. No one on the Wimbledon branch seems to mind. That's because the drivers of the shorter trains carefully stop at the foot entrance end of every platform. If they treated long platforms as an easy target on which they can lazily stop anywhere, the passengers would mind. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
