Here's a question for the "team"!

Despite being a pretty serious fan of Holden architecture, I've had
my first ever visit to Cockfosters today! [1]

I was well impressed (I think it's up there with Arnos Grove and
Southgate) but although I liked the horticulture on the (partially
infilled?) central bay platform, I'm not sure it would meet his or
Frank Pick's design requirements!

My reason for posting here though is that the station *really*
reminded me of somewhere else.......but where? Is there another
very similar terminal station somewhere on the system?

Uxbridge?

Yes, I was going to say that. Compare these two photos:

Thanks. You know, I think I *have* inside Uxbridge station after all.
I remember the Middlesex coat of arms in the stained glass. Goodness
knows when it was, though!

Thanks, everyone.
