Piccadilly line Gallery 3
The two entrances to the disused Aldwych station. Interestingly, there appeared to be some kind of Fire Brigade training event taking place at the station when I visited in February 2009 - the steel door on the Surrey Street entrance was slightly ajar, allowing me to take a sneaky glance inside the building. Notice the imitation Revo Small Grey Wornum lantern - very much a London favourite!
A visit to Aldwych occurred on Friday, 15th November 2013. Click here to view the page.
The following pictures were taken on Sunday, 7th May 2017.
A train of 1973 awaits departure from Northfields depot for a service to Arnos Grove.
An alteration made since the earlier pictures were taken is the replacement of the flip-disc destination displays with LEDs, for improved clarity.
The interior of Charles Holden’s delightful 1931 booking hall at Hounslow West, complete with its original Passimeter ticket booth, is seen in August 2024.
The Passimeter is used to display a small model railway layout, though sadly, this was not operational when I visited.
