It looks deceptively like a Picc Line site but with the green tiling and small roundels I'll plump for Central Line and Redbridge.

I was thinking of Highgate N/B, but I dont believe it has a platform barrier unit at its tailwall.

It's not Redbridge, as that has an island platform. I'm thinking Bethnal Green or Wanstead.

Gosh, my memory must be going, I can't recall an island platform at Redbridge but on that basis I will plump for Wanstead rather than Bethnal Green. I have my own pics of Wanstead from when I worked there about 17 years ago, mostly of the platform inverts and relay rooms but I just can't lay my hands on them at present! |

I think it is Highgate - but the photo would have to have been taken recently because the new tiles have only been in place for a couple of months.

St Johns Wood? Or Swiss Cottage (before they had a dot matrix installed) ... both guesses  |

I'm in agreement with Highgate, as at Wanstead they renewed the tiles on the non-platform side as well (losing a block marker board in the process).

The black speakers are typical for the Northern, are they red on the Central?

On the whole, yes. And the Victoria Line is light blue, but with three yellow ones on each platform!

Defo Highgate. If you zoom in on the large version, the roundall on the r/h side tells you so.

I know. Let's just say I'm very familiar with Victoria Line Emergency Stop Plungers!

Not wishing to highjack this thread Tom - have you seen a doctor about that  How I remember the days of the Central Line ones - great fun trying to find which one was activated  Oh how I'm looking forward to the Jubbly get their own  |

Redbridge does have an island platform so nope.
Bethnal Green has a false metal ceiling on top of the platform to increase the brightness so nope.
I have no idea what the answer is!

Quite a number of people correct, including Artery Train Op, rich32 and DavidH all in quickly via PM.
It's Highgate Southbound, as taken by Mackenzieblu

The black speakers are typical for the Northern, are they red on the Central? I've found my Wanstead Pics and I can see now that it isn't although it looks very similar. The tiling would be wrong as it's missing 'Wanstead' and yes the speakers are red. Generally the PA speakers are coloured according to line or they are silver. In many open stations the original Neumann speakers that we fitted in the early 1980s are of the grey double ended type. These disappeared from tube sites with the introduction of the Millbank Section 12 PA systems. |

Yep I looked up a pic of Redbridge and then I remembered although the platforms are wide enough for me not to remember them as islands. I think of islands as the three Claphams, old Euston and Old Angel which truely are/were. |
