Any

District Line, and those girders ought to make it easy for someone to
go
and check which one. My first guess would be Cannon Street, but I
could
easily be wrong.


The old style "First Train" thing made me think it wasn't somewhere
central, but maybe there's more of them around than I think.


Where do you see that? I cannot see that in the picture?-



It's slightly cut off by the right hand edge of the picture, about a
third of the way up.


It says Way....?

That sign is a third of the way *down*. There's another one beyond it on
the platform which I imagine says "FIRST TRAIN", but apparently no train
indicated, which is consistent with the indicator having just been cancelled
as the train departs towards the left.

Which tube station is shown on the above link?

West Ruislip?


That was my initial instinct, too. It's clearly on the Central Line.

Gloucester Road D/C eastbound?

Aldgate East has one, and it also has the girders on the ceiling.

Aldgate East is a good guess. But, I happened to have an old picture...

Look at
ftp://olof.ltr-data.se/public/pictur...st_Station.JPG
I was standing on the leftbound platform right down the stairs from the
ticket hall when I took that picture. On the TfL picture, the "First
Train" display is about two ceiling girders away from the "Way Out" sign
or about three lamps away from where the picture was taken. I would say
the "First Train" display would be more hidden behind the pillars and
other things if the picture was taken right behind the clock that is
visible on my picture right under the "First Train" display. But it is
hard to tell, there seem to be about one and a half lamp tube length in
distance between the girders at Aldgate East, and about the same on the
TfL web picture. But that might be the case on many stations...

My guess is Tower Hill. I have no picture from there however...

No, the lamps, they are old-style-but-modern round thingys at Gloucester
Road while Aldgate East for instance have tube fixtures. But what
disturbs me is that there are no pillars visible on the picture and it
would have been if it was at Aldgate East. I think it is Tower Hill or
Cannon Street, but I don't remember which kind of lighting fixtures they
have there...

Going over the suggestions via Flickr:

Cannon St, Tower Hill and St James's Park have the wrong lighting:

Temple has pillars in the way:

Aldgate East has the right lighting, but a tiled ceiling:

Stepney Green is the best match:

Harrow-on-the-hill has the old information boards but I know the picture is
not taken from there.
