See this link to the excellent "Disused stations" website page on Harpenden:

Note the poster "The Overground" with what looks like a network map. The picture is dated 1977 - anybody know what this was about?

One of them, near the bottom of the lifts at Lancaster Gate, even had the "lines" displayed as a spiral.
	Only time will tell if I will ever take a journey on a 72, 73, 92, or D stock.
