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

Agreed...

Whoops my mistake!

Lewisham DLR is underground too...

No it's not! It's open at both ends!

I don't know latin, so guessed Park Royal for that one...

Please someone correct me if I wrong but doesn't "Elizibeth Regina" (ER) also appear on post boxes and police badges?

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.

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