Looks like a Sunday, with Brondesbury Park and Canonbury closed.

Am I right in thinking there's no platform 7 now?

No, I'm wrong. But now only District Line services use it.

Also South Acton isn't there. Kentish Town West is also missing. When was
the fire?

Note also that Embankment (District) and Camden Road slats are
hand-painted. The former will be because the name was previously Charing
Cross but I didn't know Camden Road once had another name?

Closed 22 years earlier (1959).

1971 - reopened 5 October 1981 (later in the year of Chris's photo).

Yes, it was Camden Town from 1870 until 1950 (having opened as Camden
Road in 1853).

The station which closed never did re-open.

However, the reason why South Acton is not shown on the North London
Line indicator has already been given - the photo was taken on a Sunday,
and at this time even the remaining South Acton station was closed on
Sundays.

I think he's confusing the District branch with the North London station
that never closed (except the District platform).

They were standard stock on the North London before the class 313 units.
Note the window bars added upon transfer from the Southern Region.
