Quiz: Metropolitan Railway - What station is it?

March 31, 2007
Metropolitan Railway Station, Trains to All Parts of London

Skulking around London today, I came across a station with the sign shown on the picture above.

Do you know what station it is?

    Is it Liverpool Street Station?

    No, it's not Liverpool Street Station. It's far away from it.

    Gosh... I can't think where this is then. Is it Charing Cross?
    If not... can you give me a clue? I.e. south, west, north, east?

    It's in West London. And it's not Charing Cross. Another tip: Think a bit back in time how transport was organized in London many many years ago.

    Oh no....now I am completely confused.... many many years ago?
    By boat along the Thames maybe?
    But I can't think of a West-London station on the Thames that may have that sign!?

    Another clue?

    It's not by water and it's not a normal train station though trains arrive at and depart from it still today.

    I am beginning to feel like a detective... is it near Earls Court perhaps, around that area?

    It's Gloucester Road Station, I suppose.

    Ooh no Timo got there before me!!
    Well done Timo, but I bet you would never have got there without my help (only kidding of course)

    Is there a prize for Timo?

    Well, I haven't thought of a prize. ;-) Any ideas?

    I know...another of your wonderful photographs!

    (although it would be a prize for all of us because we'll all be able to enjoy it!)

    Well, of course I keep posting some of my photographs. Haven't really realized that they are considered being so wonderful. Thank for this. :-)
