The line is obvious - but which station, and which year bearing in mind the livery?  |

The line doesn't seem obvious to me. I'll guess at South Kenton around 1960.

Agreed. I think it's South Kenton too.

Correct. Two winners. Again, though, I just cannot see the distinctive features that make this one easy.
Date: 1950 - white window surrounds
Line: only the bakerloo had pre-1938 trailers in the formation (referred to as the 58 trailers coz there were 58 of 'em!!)

Ah well I didn't know that about the Bakerloo formation Phil, I'm afraid that my historical knowledge isn't all that. I did have doubt in my mind about the date though, even though I posted 1960 I did wonder what date the overhead wires on the mainline were installed. Knowing my luck it was just before then.............. |

It's obvious!
Where else on LU would you see 1938 tube stock calling at an island platform with a four-track NR mainline next to it? The DC lines came immediately to mind, and there are precioius few island platforms of that type on the DC lines, leading me to agree with the SP.

Those platform canopies were unique to the LNWR, I believe. |

As mentioned in a previous thread, my knowledge of 38 stock formation isn't that great, so wasn't to me obvious in that sense, but the station certainly looked familiar so I went by that. |
