Was this only a temporary closure? Because if it were a permanent one, then you could argue that it's not a photo of a station at all, but just a random bit of building...

The station is open at the moment, my tube stopped there at the weekend on my brief journey.

Do old (permanently closed) railway buildings count for this quiz?

I suppose it's a moot point. In fact I've walked past this building several times so I shouldn't be complaining! Credit to those who got it wrong though - we were all only one station out!

I went with the excuse "nobody's said I can't do it yet" when deciding.

Obviously closed stations are out, for two main reasons - a) they're not served any more and b) there's only a certain amount still with street level buildings, so gives those guessing a fairly small base to look for pictures from.

The station this building is still connected to by underground passages is open and in service.

Therefore, I see nothing wrong with this being included. Any tube geek should know this one anyway.
