Right answer, but for the wrong reason! Acton Main Line is not a TfL station, but Acton Town is.

The monogram of the reigning monarch is found on all postboxes commissioned during that monarch's reign. Victoria's in the earliest monarch one will find on postboxes. You may see GR, which is for George V, as he was the first George to have postboxes commissioned during his reign. George VI has the VI to distinguish him.

Edward VIII is, of course, the rarest monogram to find.
One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

Though in the case of kings, the R stands for Rex rather than Regina.
