Watford Central tube station
[edit]- ... that a pub on Watford High Street in Hertfordshire, UK, was once planned to be Watford Central tube station in an unsuccessful 1927 scheme to extend the Metropolitan Line?

Interesting article - I didn't know about that stop ever being planned. Although you have a photo, the paragraph (the second one) on The building section needs to be cited. QPQ not needed as the nominator has only had two previous DYK credits. Miyagawa (talk) 18:47, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note! Yes, it's an odd little bit of tube history, not many people seem to know about it. TBH sources are very scant, so it's been hard to cite with only a few books mentioning it! I dropped in a newspaper reference (best I could do for now). When I can get my hands on a better book I will improve the refs. Hope this is enough to be going on with for now.Cnbrb (talk) 18:42, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
- Alt 1 ... that in 1927, the once proposed Watford Central tube station was planned to be built on some tea rooms?
