It's one of a series in the subway. I have a picture of each one squirrelled away on a memory card somewhere. I'll see if I can locate them.....

....I'll wait until this quiz is completed though.

That will be why then. Always use escalators/lifts. Not used subway since they closed the exit at the Red Star Parcels end!

1. Going by the clue and the fact it has a Platform 4, I'm guessing Twyford?  Not a station that I've ever stopped at...

6.  Polegate.  Tongue Embarrassed Roll Eyes
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
