Happy to review this. There don't appear to be any major showstoppers, so I'll do a full review.

Lead[edit]

History : Northern Line[edit]

  • Also, the street name is just "Strand" on maps and road signs. I agree that "The Strand" is commonly used, but I suspect that this is because a single syllable word feels odd when used in this way.--DavidCane (talk) 00:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

London & North Western Railway[edit]

Victoria line[edit]

  • I've added an extra word to clarify. It can certainly be confusing to passengers. Those changing from the Charing Cross branch Northern line platforms to the Victoria line have to pass two sets of escalators up to the ticket hall and a set down to the Northern line Bank branch platforms before they get to the Victoria line escalators. Long ago I created a plan of the station based on a London Underground diagram from the 1960s, which showed how the station was reconfigured. It was removed from Commons as it was considered a copyright infringement. Given that it would have been Crown copyright, it is probably free to use now. A copy which must have been taken from wikipedia before deletion is on the subterranea britannica site here. I still have the larger original.--DavidCane (talk) 00:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that would be useful - I've had a look through a news and book search, and TfL archives, but there doesn't seem to be anything that talks about the specifics of the pre-Victoria line layout. This book looks like it should have the information but there's no online preview so I can't easily check. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:42, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've found a report from the London Underground Rail Society. Though it's not affiliated with TfL, I'm happy to believe that whoever wrote the report is a subject expert and what is contained in it is factually correct. In any instance, the facts in question are backed up by the photographs you linked to. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Connections[edit]

  • I normally put a list of bus connections in for tube stations, but with the bus station article already providing a list of these, I thought it easier to link to that rather than duplicate the list. I see Vincent has put in a full list so I'll leave that as is with a couple of minor copy edits. I have linked the bus station from the text of this section.--DavidCane (talk) 00:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
