Excellent fact, thankyou.

Interesting that it closed and reopened like that; off the top of my head,
i'm not aware of any other examples of long-closed stations in London
reopening (ie not bomb damage etc cases).

West Brompton (NR)
A few NLL stations in the Hackney area, e.g. Homerton
Several on what is now the DLR (or were they all bomb damaged?)
Haggerston and Dalston Junction soon, if you count them
