That would be correct Richard J, the stairs went down from the
platform? I thought it was an underground station but maybe it was a
dlr station.

If DLR is included then the obvious candidates are Tower Gateway and the
old terminus at Island Gardens where there are / were steps down from
the platforms at termini and you could see the street below.

"Many many years ago" appears to exclude the DLR as an option.

I also took "many many years ago" to mean several decades. However the OP
has since said it was about one.

Which is why I made the response I did. Without that reigning in of the
timescale then I was completely stumped about "the stairs down from the
platform" issue at a LU terminus.

As was I. Greenford (when a terminus) and Tower Gateway were the only ones I
could think of. I'd forgotten about Island Gardens.

Mill Hill East and Amersham?

"from the *end* of an island platform where you can see the street"
which I think was the original statement. Might just apply at Mill Hill
East as there is only one platform and I've obviously forgotten what
Amersham is like as I thought this was on the level. I thought Amersham
was side platforms?

I obviously need to revisit one or two places.

Alternatively, It could be Canary Wharf, trains frequently terminate there.

Or Stratford, where the DLR has a single platform, and it forms an island
platform with Network Rail, on ther opposite side.

Given the visual differences, I cannot imagine, anyone mistaking a DLR train
for an LUL one.

So how about Buckhurst Hill, or Loughton, both have trains terminating at
island platforms.
