I heard that Warwick Avenue is the only station on the London Underground without a surface building. I don't know if that is true but I'm sure you or some of your tube loving readers can correct me if I am wrong.

You heard wrong, Barry, there are at least 20.

Well you learn something new every day. I got that incorrect fact when the song by Duffy came out, so either wherever I read it had it wrong or I misremembered what I read.

Observation Kiosk? LOL. It's actually a phone box for the internal telephone system.
|
It's a funny thing about underground railways, one goes through places (as I have these) thousands of times but never 'knows' them, other than observing the pax who get on and off. I actually have never liked the green and white tiling, it reminded me of hospitals.

that list isn't complete - St Pauls is missing for a start
|
my website doesn't claim that the list is complete! Knew I might have missed one or two. Will add St. Paul's. any others timbo?
|
DG, did you do a 'busiest stations' post in 2012? I can only find your earlier ones.

@ Geofftech, what about Knightsbridge?
|
Interesting list from Geofftech, but if Marylebone, Charing Cross and Vauxhall are included, then should some of the other National Rail stations, particularly termini also be on the list. I am not a regular user of the Underground but from memory at all of Victoria, Euston, Liverpool Street, St Pancras, Paddington - Praed Street (and maybe others) you have to descend from the main station concourse to the Underground ticket office.
|
Apologies for the continued digression, but geofftech: I have a suggestion for "Tube Stations that have no exit barriers". It's possible to get on/off the westbound platform at Euston Square without going through barriers by using the lift (there's a self touch just next to it). Perhaps the only zone 1 station that applies to?
|
thanks all for the suggestions, Jim that is *brilliant* about Euston Square! am going there now to go investigate...
