In Paris atm, my mate will take me to this ghost station tomorrow. It's just down the road near Bastille.
So while Temple is currently the only station in both cities, Arsenal was for a few years in the '30s.
Can anyone remember which year Gillespie Road got renamed?

The pigeons are still there :)
I will bear this in mind and take care should I need to use the platforms at Arnos Grove in future.Quote:
