A wide variety of guesses, but all of them quite a long way away.
It isn't to do with St David this year.

Wrong on both counts I'm afraid. Nobody has even got the correct line yet.

Let's try the district line, then. Ealing Common, because March 1st 1910 was when it was renamed back to Ealing Common from Ealing Common and West Acton.

It is an event related to the station, but it isn't on the District.

I think Osterley & Spring Grove has been discounted...it of course opened 1st March 1883. I know that location well having been to school locally, but the cable runs do not look like the ones I recall that were on the platforms.

Park Royal, Ruislip Manor and Osterley were all guessed before I said that nobody had got the right line yet. Guessing other Piccadilly Line stations won't get you closer to the answer.

It is! West Finchley - north end of southbound platform
Now why was it chosen for 1st March (and it's not related to St David's day remember)

West Finchley any better? And assuming thats correct, reason for choice is because the station opened March 1st 1933  |
