Favourite station
My favourite station is North Greenwich, because of the modern look, its appearance on TV and the fact that it is the furthest I can go on my normal travelcard (3-5).
Anyone else feel like sharing?

Well
As I said in the other thread I think mine is East Finchley. I do love Charles Holden's 1930s stations at Oakwood, Bounds Green, Arnos Grove, Turnpike Lane etc etc - he really knew something about striking architecture (apparently he was inspired by German architecture of the same period ).
The nice thing about the route I have planned for the tube challenge is that you get to see Oakwood station from the outside

Mine used to be Chesham too, because it was out of the way and only has the one platform! (plus it is my end station)

Re: Yes
Hardly...Last time I checked, Totteridge was still on the road linking Whetstone with Totteridge Village. I think you're thinking of Woodside Park, which is a short walk from Tally Ho Corner.juggler wrote:But Totteridge and Whetstone should really be called North Finchley (because that's where it is) and it's a sh**hole of a place

My favourite stations:
Mornington Crescent (has an absolutely fantastic tile scheme)
Westminster (escalator hall - legendary; I once tried to reproduce it as an Unreal Tournament 2004 map)
Canary Wharf (the volume of the main hall is truly large)
Paddington (the run from H&C to the Bakerloo line, never backwards)
Least favourite:
Manor House (the tiles looked rubbish, so they replaced them - with the exact same rubbish matt colour scheme!)
Most Picc line outer reaches stations: they look ugly.

i like royal oak and ealing broadway cos of the FGW hi speeders, they go mind blowingly fast and look cool and you can see them from both.
my favourite designs are fulham broadway and hounslow west though... they look fab, with those bannery signs and being half underground. i like barons court aswell for the same reason - interesting signs.
i would say chalfont for the waiting room but the bastards had switched the heater off on thursday.
my least favourite is high barnet, its just depressing. what is it, a train station or a bloody bomb testing field? hard to tell with all that razor wire. and that hill you have to run up from the bus stop could be used to defend a castle. evidently barnet council have not discovered STAIRS yet.

i had thoughts about doing that with baker street station once, i dunno why exactly but the fact that it seems like there's no way out of it kinda means it'd work for UTCrunchySaviour wrote: Westminster (escalator hall - legendary; I once tried to reproduce it as an Unreal Tournament 2004 map).

High Barnet is quite pretty, if you discount all of the barbed wire at the south end. The path is great for keeping fit. Actually I think it should be a rule in tube challenging that everone has to go up the hill rather than down it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephenk1977/37950606/Zeibura wrote: my least favourite is high barnet, its just depressing. what is it, a train station or a bloody bomb testing field? hard to tell with all that razor wire. and that hill you have to run up from the bus stop could be used to defend a castle. evidently barnet council have not discovered STAIRS yet.
