Forst a quick reminder that yesterday remains unanswered. Today it's four locations to find, and also there is a link between some and an odd one out..... Add to that an extra point up for grabs for spotting whatever it is that shouldn't be there.     *Click on any image for a larger version* |

A Camden Road (originally Camden Town)
B Ravenscourt Park (originally Shaftesbury Road)
C Debden (originally Chigwell Road)
D Chalfont & Latimer (originally Chalfont Road)
The odd one out is Camden Road as it only acquired a name containing the word Road when it was renamed in 1950, whereas all the others opened with names ending in the word Road but were subsequently renamed.

Absolutely bang on the money! Station A: Camden Road - passage to eastbound  Station B: Ravenscourt Park - east end of eastbound Station C: Debden - code destroyers on eastbound platform  Station D: Chalfont and Latimer - southbound OPO mirror  Inset still needs an answer, although this is a bit of a giveaway!  *Click any of the images for a larger version* |

Presumably this is the gentleman who invented the Plimsoll line on ships?

Station C: Debden - code destroyers on eastbound platform They're called Emergency Stop Plungers (abbreviated to ESP) - as the red labels on the units state. "Code Destroyer" is not a phrase that appears neither in the Central Line or Victoria signalling literature. [/pedant] |

Aparently he was born there.

Debden was actually Chigwell Lane, not road! When opened in April 1864 the station was named Chigwell Road, being renamed to Chigwell Lane on the 1st of December the same year. It was only renamed to Debden in 1949 when it was transferred to the Underground. |
