Was the station so suddenly closed, though? Was there advanced warning
of any sort?

I can do you one better; They decided to shutter South Kentish Town on
what is now the London Underground's Northern Line in one afternoon in
in June of 1924, and promptly acted on that decision. The station was
temporarily closed that afternoon because of industrial action at a
local power supplier, and they simply never re-opened it.

Low pax volumes was the reason.

You'd never get away with that today, I'm certain.
