Well, joining in with a "first guess", I would go for Temple or just possibly Tower Hill....... It's not Temple. I'd go with Tower Hill outside rail. -- Paul Cummins *FREE* mobile phone - http://tinyurl.com/2yw23x *0845, 0870, 070* - http://tinyurl.com/ywwdk6 *FREE* ADSL for life - http://tinyurl.com/22dlhh -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Aldgate East has one, and it also has the girders on the ceiling. |

Aldgate East has one, and it also has the girders on the ceiling. Aldgate East is a good guess. But, I happened to have an old picture... Look at ftp://olof.ltr-data.se/public/pictur...st_Station.JPG I was standing on the leftbound platform right down the stairs from the ticket hall when I took that picture. On the TfL picture, the "First Train" display is about two ceiling girders away from the "Way Out" sign or about three lamps away from where the picture was taken. I would say the "First Train" display would be more hidden behind the pillars and other things if the picture was taken right behind the clock that is visible on my picture right under the "First Train" display. But it is hard to tell, there seem to be about one and a half lamp tube length in distance between the girders at Aldgate East, and about the same on the TfL web picture. But that might be the case on many stations... My guess is Tower Hill. I have no picture from there however... -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |

No, the lamps, they are old-style-but-modern round thingys at Gloucester Road while Aldgate East for instance have tube fixtures. But what disturbs me is that there are no pillars visible on the picture and it would have been if it was at Aldgate East. I think it is Tower Hill or Cannon Street, but I don't remember which kind of lighting fixtures they have there... -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
