Default What station is this?

The missus and I just watched a rather fascinating film called "It Happened
Here", which is a mockumentary, made in 1958 by two teenagers (one was 18,
the other 16) although released in 1966, about what would have happened had
the worst happened, and Hitler succeeded and invaded Britain and made it
part of the Reich.

A chilling film indeed. And made by these two teenagers, with a teeny
budget, it's most impressive.

More on the film he

It's on DVD if you want to see it.

Anyway, from a UTL point of view, it's fascinating, as there's loads of
footage of old routemasters, tubes, etc. Whether the filmmakers used stock
around in 1944 when the film is largely based, or whether they used stock
that was around in the late 50s when they shot it, I don't know.

But I was fascinated by the location of one scene where a load of SS
soldiers march into a tube train. Here's a screengrab I took of it:

Trying to work out where it was taken. My guess is Edgware, the first
platform you come to on the right hand side which is on its own. I don't
know the number of the platform.

Am I right?
