Croxley Rail Link hits the sidings

Charles Ellson wrote: You seem to have failed to pay attention to Paul Scott quite properly distinguishing "real" tube stations from tube used as meaningless buzz-word stations. Are tube stations those served by tube trains, in which case Finchley Central is one, or is the those where the platforms are in tubes, in which case most of the JLE stations aren't (as the JLE platforms seem to be either above ground or in box-like structures)? "Tube"[TM] stations might sometimes have canopies but tube stations generally have tunnel roofs. Tube - even restricting it to the London Underground - is hugely overloaded. Being pedantic about it strikes me as foolish. -- Shenanigans! Shenanigans! Best of 3! -- Flash |

The platforms at Southwark tube were definitely bored, as there's a viaduct above them. I think all the ones in zone 1 are.

Being pedantic about it strikes me as foolish. Right. In my youth Bakerloo trains ran to Watford Junction, and even by 1970 there were still a few in the rush hours. |
