Yet another poorly researched/written article on the history of the Underground. Lords and Marlborough Road were not, as implied by the article, on the Bakerloo/Jubilee Line, and certainly not when the new branch opened "in 1940" - they were both on the Metropolitan Line and closed in 1939!

This sort of thing surfaces every few years, and the accuracy gets worst as time goes on ...

Indeed, as long as juicy clicks are achieved then why should they care about the actual content?

MyLondon are renowned for reporting hideous inaccuracies and, to be frank, downright lies - they reported on a survey apparently done during the first lockdown about the restrictions which claimed they interviewed people who had been travelling on the Waterloo & City line... (which for anyone who may not have been keeping up has been entirely shut since March 2020)
