127. Kensal Green

Thursday2nd June 3.30pm

This station would have been easier to find if I hadn't been muddling it up with Kensal Rise, which isn't even a Tube station. It was easy to miss - the station building is tiny, perched on top of a bridge over the rail tracks, and because it's also an Overground station it doesn't even have a Tube sign outside. As I walked down to the platform I got a bit panicky that there might not be a roundel but thankfully there was. Interestingly I didn't even care that the train was cancelled.

I like the way the new Mayor of London sneaked into the picture too.

126. Queen's Park

I'd heard of the football team that take their name from the area but if you'd asked me to find it on a map I'd be clueless. Turns out it in north-west London!

The odd thing about the platform was that all the roundels were small and above head height, which explains the slightly weird picture. There might have been platform sharing going on, or perhaps someone just went mad when they put them up? The station itself is so unremarkable I remember nothing about it!
