It always amuses me when people say they can see x number of "clues".

It's not really obvious from any of the posters or anything inside the building which station or even which line it is. So the "clue" must be the shape of the building and all the silly pointy things on it, which aren't really "clues" as such because you either recognise the building or you don't. The architecture doesn't suggest a particular station if you have no idea where it is or haven't seen the building before.

Now I happen to know this station (or at least I hope I do!) because I've driven past it a few times in the last 10 months and apart from the features of the building I can see nothing which suggests the [name of line] line or that this station is [name of station].

OK, he's sent me his clues.

And now I'm trying to work out how the hell he saw two of them, given the quality and clarity of the picture.

To be fair, I think that Kevin's right here. It really does look like a station.

Well 1 is the Charles Holden building of the Morden extension

2) The route map clearly shows the northern line with the two branches in Central London

3) There is a box on the map near the bottom, denoting "This Station", indicating that this station is near Morden.

And also there are other objects on the building such as posters and security alarms etc.
