Favourite Stations But I Don't Know the Name!

[whhistle]

A metropolitan station, potentially on the pic line but I'm sure it has the larger outer London stock. It's inside but the ceiling is super high. Lots of glass maybe? One island platform that I remember but no walls in between them.

Any ideas?

Sounds like Uxbridge. IMO a well designed station and for its age still looks magnificent.

Agreed, the only station that fits the bill precisely.

An image can often help prompt recall, so how's this one from Wikipedia?

Not Uxbridge, but Earls Court.
However I found out looking through Uxbridge photos so not a complete waste :P No island platform though...

The Holden inspired/designed stations are truly respectable '30s architecture. They should be recognised for their attention to detail and style, without sacrificing utility.

Many are listed, including this fine example!

How do you mean? There are two island platforms visible in your photo.

Yeah :P
Although the photo I remember only showed one with two trains either side.

I'm confused.

I'm confused.

I think whhistle meant he could only remember seeing one island platform?

It is entirely possible to take a photo at Earl's Court which only shows half the station, i.e. one island; the picture he remembered could easily have been thus.

Given that the Piccadilly Line part, as mentioned in the original thread, is underneath the District platforms it'd be difficult to get all the platforms into one picture.

You know what I meant!


In fact I have overlooked that he also said the picture he remembered, which he found again and posted 7 posts above mine, does clearly show both islands anyway...

Given the weather last night, not sure whether Epsom Downs or Penzance Promenade, which my dog even refused to walk down on account of being blown over, would have been preferable.

Yes, I was being facetious, a habit I try to keep under control - too many on this site already.

You only said something I might well have said... I'm sure you noticed the laughing smiley in my reply?
