We start the new month with a single part question. Obviously, something is slightly amiss, so points available for spotting this.  *Click for larger version* |

I agree - somewhere predominantly English-speaking though? How about a completely random stab in the dark - Chicago 'El'? ;D

What about the floor on the left? Bank/Monument?
Those rails are definitely not LU though.. missing rails...

Could it be a station in another country that shares its name with one on LU?

When I was in Sydney I noticed they had a few stations where the external building appeared to be based on LU stations. I never actually used the public transport there though so can only base it on my views from the street. I seem to remember there was one called "Museum" which is what i'm going with for the far platform. As for the near platform - I reckon that's in London and will go with suncloud and say Monument.

Yup, I'll go with Museum Station in Sidney. It runs off overhead for power, which could also account for it.

Agree with Sydney/Museum. Could the platform tiling be from Holborn, which superseded the old British Museum (Central) station?

Definitely MUSEUM station in Sydney. One of those stairwells is 'Way Out to Liverpool Street' !

There's also a pciture across the poster boards, which I think is a something else to identify but I don't recognise it at all..

The background patterns ring a bell from somewhere - could they be from the V&A museum?

I thought the pattern was Tottenham Court Road, doesn't that have disgusting colours somewhere!?

Only the main station was identified, which was Museum in Sydney. The other three locations I'll leave open for now. 1: Museum in Sydney taken by Eileen (ChrisM's landlady)  2:  3:  4:  *Click any image for a larger version* |

Is Number 4 Embankment somewhere. I've been near that station recently, but can't for the life of me think where it is!

It certainly sticks in the mind though! I've only been there once...

Don't the roundels on Sydney's railway look almost like London's?
