It would be nice to have a photo of the station itself. TheGrappler 16:33, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there is a British Museum tube station. The closest ones would be Russell Square or Holborn. Tempra mental (talk) 11:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

"it is now wholly disused. ... reportedly used by engineers to store sleepers"

Being pedantic, if we are treating those reports as credible, the station may not be wholly disused. --rbrwr± 15:03, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Royal Scots Guards

The station was also the main HQ for the Royal Scots Guard throughout the 1980's up until some point during the 1990's. (London Walks)

[edit] Intense Rivalry

I've removed intense rivalry as the reason for there being no interchange - this is unlikely to have been the case. The CLR built interchanges with the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway at Oxford Circus and the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway at Tottenham Court Road - both of which lines had the same owners as the GNP&BR - the Underground Electric Railways Company of London Limited a company with which the CLR was cooperating for the production of joint promotional material less than a year later.--DavidCane (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
