It's a single part question today, but there are bonus points up for grabs, one within the picture, and another for working out why this location was chosen for today.  *Click image for a larger version* |

The inset looks like Old Harry Rocks off the Isle of Purbeck.

Old Harry Rocks and not Beachy Head or The Needles. Fished off there!

I am more inclined to believe that it is Kensington Olympia. I must admit though, at first I thought it was the street entrance to buckhurst hill.

You have both answers, but not yet the bonus point for working out why the location was chosen. Kensington Olympia - passage from northbound NR platform to street.  Old Harry Rocks and Isle of Purbeck from Bournemouth.  *Click either image for a larger version* |

Anything to do with a name change, looks like there have been a few, so I'll guess the present change to Kensington Olympia in 1947.

I think it is the anniversary of the Addison Road/Kensington Olympia service being put into the main WTT galley irrespective of whether there were exhibitions or not in WTT 133 (7/4/86), so it is the anniversary of daily services Mon - Sat to Olympia.

Hmmm.... You and your WTT's! ;D Spot on! My answer sheet says: The full District Line service to Olympia started on this day in 1986 |
