If anyone gets this wrong I'll be very disappointed.

One clue is Neil walking into the station with a bag of shopping from Tesco!
One day I shall return!

It's not unfeasible that I might use this station ...

I'd be interested to know who guessed this without googling the telephone number I helpfully left in for you. The station was Holland Park.

Those who got it right through various means:
perkyperky
jbom1
nozzacook
al
barrykas
mps247
moley

Lancaster Gate
garion24wales

And then Starkey7, who though it was Mile End.

Drat it! Forget to enter, but knew it was Holland Park without and help from Googl. just by looking at the photo I knew it.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Looking at the style of the station building and the building next to it, I couldn't think of anywhere else on the Central line that looks like that - it blends in really well with the surrounding area... sometimes a little too well - I've walked past it loads of times without realising! Anyway, full credit to the architect (apparently Harry Bell Measures, and looking at the Oxford Circus building, I do like the way it seems to blend-in too... well, at least to my eyes).

... However, I did google the phone number to confirm it was indeed Holland Park! :)

I stood outside this station for 20mins waiting for Ric on an evening R15 a while back and still don't recognise it at all :shock:
