Calvert was the southern most GC-built station on the London
Extension excepting Marylebone,


Not so. It was the southern most GC station of the standard island

platform
design, but there were another 6 GC designed stations south of Calvert
(excepting Marylebone).

I guess it comes down to whether or not one counts the Neasden-Northolt

line
as part of the London Extension!


I call that the GC/GW joint line! I always understand the London extension
as specifically referring to the line built from Annesley Junction to
Quainton Road... Other connections, such as Banbury to Culworth Junction and
the GC/GW joint don't cut it with me!
