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.


South Woodford seems more likely.


Definitely not South Woodford either.

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.

Ah yes; the bus shelter is a listed building. Can't be many of those.

Never seen that before, even in pics - what a nice design.

Which services possibly the least number of busses of any London
station :-)

66, 296, 396. 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

Still a massive structure, considering it's rare to find more than one
'bus at a time passing through!

It's been my local station for 30 years and I never knew there was a
synagogue on the premises! Where's the entrance?

Well I only supplied the pics not the text! I asked that same question
on the Talk page of the article, but no response! I have searched the
entire station and nothing says "Ohel David" on it!
