Was going thru my collection of tube pics, and found this one... where is it?! I can visualize the platform, even the rather large roundel at the end of the platform which I stood next to to take this pic, but I can't remember the name! To my right, just about in the pic, is an area of platform that's boarded off, and judging by the dirt on what was inside there, has been for a while. There's also a tannoy speaker mounted on said boards, right about the roundel. I'm 99% sure this is a Northern line platform, and that the platform that runs alongside this one (thru a short passageway) is either Vic or Bakerloo... Is this Warren Street? Ok, no Bakerloo, but it seems a good guess? And how's about this one? I've got a feeling it's either on the Picc or the Jubilee... Thanks!

The second photo I'm pretty sure is St John's Wood. I seem to remember hearing of the old fashioned roundels and uplighters used there. Of course I could be wrong (After all it's after 6am and I'm still awake reading a bloody C stock manual believe it or not!!)

The escalator shot may well be Southgate as it is the one intended to show the original Holden design. All the others having been wrecked converted to modern lighting.

With a large magnifier I seem to see that the signal number plate has a large '1B' in the centre with what looks lik 'CD' to the left of it. I don't know if that helps?
EDIT. Having blown up the photo the plate appears to say 'co-acting' Now I am confused.

I want to say that the first picture is Stockwell, but I don't think the Northern Line has any co-acting aspects at all...

Yes that is Euston (City branch). Because of the 25 mph limit which Stockwell hasn't got. The shunt signal is J3b which allows a train to Piccadilly.

I don't think the escalator's Southgate. It looks too long (deep) and I'm sure the top opened out far more than the orange-painted 'thing' suggests

Ok, I thought I'd posted this already, but it's not here, so... I'm pretty happy with those two pics being Euston and St. John's Wood - matches what I was doing on those two days. Here's a close-up of that signal for anyone who's interested. Thanks! :-)
