Charing Cross tube station: Northern line train approaching. [30] The location is identified as the Northbound platform by:
- The indicator has columns for next three trains (Bakerloo had only two). From the position of the lighted line on the indicator, this train is for the "Barnet Line".
- This (N-B) platform is almost one continuous curve - it was a single platform 1914-1926 when trains terminated via the Charing Cross loop.
- The destination box on the train has 3 lines of writing (Bakerloo had only two).
- The floodgate equipment near the roof half-way down the platform identifies this platform (installed in case a WWII bomb pierced the tunnel under the Thames and started flooding the system).

Uxbridge-bound Piccadilly line train at South Harrow. I'm not sure whether the white flash was caused by leakage of light in the camera, or whether it was condensation from a blast of compressed air expanding when released.
