(Charing Cross Bakerloo is of course the former Trafalgar Square station..)


and Charing Cross Northern was formerly named Strand - it was to avoid
confusion that Strand Piccadilly was renamed Aldwych.


Another factor behind it being Strand was that the name Charing Cross
was, at that time, already taken by the Circle/District/Northern/
Bakerloo station now known as Embankment.
