I would guess that station is Holborn, as it's Central London stock.

Interesting shots of Hammersmith and Acton Town rebuilding, I'm part-way though cataloguing the myriad signalling notices produced - it should be possible, but a very long and involved job to date most of the footage to within a fortnight or so!
Fascinating.

I would guess that station is Holborn, as it's Central London stock. Correct, and you see each of the three types of train used - Tunnel Stock (1903), Ealing Stock (1915) and a "Yorke" Conversion of tunnel stock for the Ealing service, named after the man who was the engineer on the line at the time. His previous job was rebuilding the wooden bodied B Stock trailer cars on the District. I was told this by the man who did the original survey of the stock with him in Ealing Common yard. Small world, isn't it? |

Small world, isn't it? So I take it this is the new Holborn Central Line platform (built at the time of the Piccadilly extension) that replaced British Museum station? |

Yes indeedy. About 600' away from the old one, if I've added up the signal distances correctly.

Was any of this used in the video Piccadilly Line Past and Present ?
