TV location: Hickory Fields Underground with preserved 38 stock ?
 

Just watched the Poirot TV episode "Hickory Dickory Dock",
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182225/ London Underground interest included
the 1938 stock in pre-war red and cream livery, running in and out of
a station named "Hickory Fields". Where was the station though ?
I wasn't watching closely enough to see :) Tiled walls, but not a Tube -
it had a footbridge, and I think was open air or in a cutting - daylight
was visible along the running lines.

Thanks :)

Nick

According to Barry Salter in 1999:

"Actually filmed at Arnos Grove (Piccadilly Line) with exterior
shots being shot *very* carefully either side of the bridge
where Bowes Road crosses the line.

Thanks Roland. I did GoogleGrope for it first, but for some reason the
previous thread isn't shown when I search for hickory fields.

The reason Google doesn't find that thread is that it refers to "Hickory
Road", not "Hickory Fields".

But the train shots were at Morden according to Andy Davison in 2003:

and according to other folk in 2000:

So a compromise would be "interior at Morden and exteriors at Arnos
Grove?" imdb.com agrees about Morden.

Which makes perfect sense given that the Northern Line was still running
a mix of 1959 and 1972 Tube Stock, including the "Heritage" train, when
that particular episode of Poirot was filmed.
