Strand tube station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been two stations on the London Underground network called Strand station, both sites are located close to Strand.
- The first was on the Piccadilly Line and opened as "Strand" in 1907. It was renamed Aldwych station in 1915. Aldwych tube station was closed in 1994 but the surface building can still be prominently seen.
- The second station was on the Northern Line. It opened as Charing Cross station in 1907 before being renamed as "Strand" in 1915. The station was closed between 1973 and 1979 when it reopened as a combined station with the former Trafalgar Square station on the Bakerloo Line and the new terminus platforms for the Jubilee Line (the latter of which has since been rerouted away from the station) on 1 May 1979. From the reopening the combined station was called "Charing Cross".
The station previously called Charing Cross had earlier been renamed Embankment to allow this to happen. See: Charing Cross tube station.
