The restoration of St. John's Woo Station
I noticed that the restoration of St. John's Wood appears to be
proceeding nicely. However, I noticed that the Bakerloo brown tiling that once lined the platform wall panels is being replaced with... Bakerloo brown tiling. NOT Jubilee grey tiling. Is this intentional? |

I believe that because SJW station is a listed building/structure, LUL are
required to replace/restore like with like. If it where a non-protected station, then I would have expected the tiling to have been changed to Jubilee silver though.

Is SJW a listed station?
Certainly it's not one of those listed at the back of Capital Transport's excellant book "Underground Architecture". In fact, the platforms here have been comprehendively trashed. The original biscuit-coloured tiles (including the Harold Stabler pictorial designs), name freeze and associated ceremic roudels have been either hacked off or crudely plastered over. (I understand Tubelines say they "might" be able to save "some" of the the Stabler pictorials - not that they were in any danger until Tubelines got their hands on them!!!) Replacement tiling does not correctly replecate that which it replaces, e.g. the contrasting colour banding used as a relief is not of the same pattern nor being applied in the same places. The tiles here were generally in a good condition, notwithstanding a patina of age, and their destruction is nothing short of official vandalism. This does not auger well for the future of other 'classic' LU stations under the PPP dictat (i.e. Aldgate East scheduled next for demolition, and the supposedly 'listed' Bow Road where almost every existing feature has been removed at footbridge and pltform level.

I agree with every word. Apart from Kennington (and possibly Borough), all of the recent refurbishments have been disastrous. Given the limited funds, replacing the tiles at Manor House and St. John's Wood seems pointless. Tufnell Park, which I agree probably did merit re-tiling, now looks plain hideous. The island platform at West Hampstead now looks garish and untidy, destroying the 1930s simplicity of the original. |

Still, I think a bit of bad editing when I changed what I first started to type pales into insignificance compared to your stunning belief that the film industry didn't exist before 1939. It's true some people are easily misled, but I'd be interested to know how you arrive at the conclusion that I believe that there was no film industry before 1939. The station - which you said "predates the film industry" - dates from 1939. So are you saying that there was no St. John's Wood station before that date? No, but then the station under discussion is the Jubilee/ex-Bakerloo one. You said "the station predates the film industry," not "the station _name_ predates the film industry." So it's OK for you to make a mistake but no one else, is that what you're saying? Your entire posting was based on a mistake. That's somewhat different from making a minor editing error in any otherwise valid observation. -- Nick Cooper [Carefully remove the detonators from my e-mail address to reply!] The London Underground at War: http://www.cwgcuser.org.uk/personal/...ra/lu/tuaw.htm 625-Online - classic British television: http://www.625.org.uk 'Things to Come' - An Incomplete Classic: http://www.thingstocome.org.uk |
