Construction News Photograph - Where is it?

Puzzle of the day - where was the picture that accompanies this article taken? SIgn in required unfortunately... For the first link it isn't. If that picture was taken on the ELL, it would have to be a station I haven't been to recently, which would make Shoreditch the only possiblity. However, it doesn't look anything like how I would imagine Shoreditch to be. So it could be anywhere on LU ... I know some stations that it isn't. I'm guessing somewhere at the eastern end of the District. |

It certainly isn't Shoreditch, or anywhere on the East London Line (the only outdoor station with double track was Surrey Quays, and it ain't there) I'm guessing somewhere at the eastern end of the District. I'd guess Woodford or somewhere around there, but it's not somewhere I recognise. U -- http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/ A blog about transport projects in London |

I'd guess Woodford or somewhere around there, but it's not somewhere I recognise. Definitely not Woodford. It might conceivably be somewhere like Newbury Park, looking south, given the main road, footbridge and general lowness. But it's so long since I've been there, I can't remember what it's actually like. But I thought the platforms looked a bit high for a tube line. Maybe not. |

I've just had a look at the satellite map of Newbury Park, which strongly fails to disprove my earlier suggestion that it could be that. So I am throwing away my District Line suggestion and putting my money on Newbury Park. |

Can't be many of those. |

Which also has that enormous bus station: http://flickr.com/photos/stephenk1977/213485407/ Which services possibly the least number of busses of any London station :-) |

More than one at least! Remember it's a bus stand not a station. Westbound 66 especially turns round here sometimes. Also useful for rail replacement. BTW I supplied all but the main picture on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbury_Park_tube_station |
