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


Okay, didn't know those two.

Several on what is now the DLR (or were they all bomb damaged?)


Aha, good one. They'd count anyway - i just meant not stations closed for
a few months of years because of bomb damage.

Haggerston and Dalston Junction soon, if you count them


Of course!
