Looks as if they are labelled 'NORTHBOUND ROAD', which I'm guessing will place them somewhere on a 'northbound/southbound' Line. The Piccadilly, and also the District, is named as westbound/eastbound (or inner rail/outer rail) throughout... and I think the Central is as well.
Don't recognise the location, and will be VERY embarrassed if it turns out to be on the Metropolitan where I drive every day!! ;D

I'm pretty certain it's West Ruislip, before the Central line modernisation.

Actually the location can be discoverd if one looks in the handbook for the line concerned. ( I know that's not a lot of help but we have members from most lines so a squint at the one for your line may detemine where they are)

Haven't got a clue, but I don't think it's any of the above.

Haven't got a clue, but I don't think it's any of the above. Well, as I've said, it looks like "Northbound Road" on the ID plate so that pretty much rules out any Westbound/Eastbound location IMHO!  Have been checking numbers of Hamburger Huts on the Met (and bits of the Jub + H&C) but can't spot any logic in the numbering system. Does anybody know it works??  |

Certainly could be, as groups of numbers do seem to be bunched together. |

Ever since I saw this picture i've been 99% certain of the answer, but didn't think of looking in the line supplement till I saw Q8's post. I can now reveal it is none other than...............................
Barking Westbound (platform 6), just past the station starter towards East Ham
Sorry PeteUXB - that blows your directional theory out of the window!! ;D ;D ;D

Thank you so much Colin. I knew that 3 weeks ago when I looked in the supp myself. I just waited to see if anyone else got there and when no-one did I decided to give a clue. They're passed daily by DR men who never give them a second glance. As Sherlock Holmes said 'you see, but you don't observe'

I bow to the superior knowledge (and greater sobriety?!) of the guys from the 'green' railway on this one..... and pleased that Hamburger Hut 914 has now been located! |

Ah, but as you said (if it was on the Met) - we District boys should be feeling a little embarassed as it was under our noses the whole time and we never noticed!! ;D ;D |
