Hi everyone.

I've been reading the latest edition of London's Underground. Having
known nothing of the capital's tube system, it has been a very good
read. One thing puzzles me though - on an old map in the book there is
marked Trafalgar Square station, I think, on the Bakerloo. On modern
maps, this station no longer exists. Strangely, in an appendix listing
service dates of disused/abandoned stations, it isn't mentioned. I may
be mistaken, but in the mid-60's, I vaguely remember my parents taking
me to visit Trafalgar Square and then getting the tube from here home.
Any information to satisfy my curiosity would be most welcome.

As I'm sure half a dozen other people have already explained, it was
subsumed into Charing Cross Station when the original Jubilee Line was
opened in 1977. Two different stations were brought together -
Trafalgar Square on the Bakerloo, and Strand on the Northern line,
linked by the Jubilee Line in the middle and called Charing Cross. Now,
of course, the Jubilee Line no longer calls there, and while interchange
between the two lines is possible, it's not really practicable, and
better done at Embankment or even Waterloo.

For what it's worth, changing at Embankment does seem to involve a
slightly longer walk.
