A Conversation for Abandoned London Tube Stations

A question re London Underground

Post 1

Each year my firm comes up with a Christmas quiz to which the answers are supposed to be "unGoogleable".; This year is no exception. Is there anyone out there who can please help with the following question?

"Which four platform London Underground station has no train indicators whatsoever?"

I suspect that this is a trick question and that it is an abandoned or unused station, but I cannot find the definitive answer.

Please help or I may go a little mad over Christmas.

Kind regards

It'll probably be an open station on the periphery of the Underground, as all the central stops tend to have indicators. There's a few distant stops with four platforms:

Loughton (Central)
Richmond, Bromley-by-Bow, Barking, Upminster (District)
Moor Park, Uxbridge (Metropolitan)

Not sure how you can work out whether any of those have indicators or not, though. smiley - erm

I can never find them on Aldgate East station, but I think that's only got two platforms.

I thought Aldgate East had the old style ones that only tell you the destination of the next train. smiley - erm

Possibly, but I can never find them! I don't go there often, only when I've got on the wrong train at Liverpool Street. smiley - biggrin
