hi,
nice site you have! I was wondering if you could send me a high quality scan of the picture "the swiftest way to pleasure" from your LU-page. We want to use it as a prop for a dance-party with the theme: "destination underground"
Thanks in advance
Paul

Dear Sir,
I am a impassioned belgian of the R 101.
I created for my personal use a small book of 50 pages in french and I would now wish to transform it into web site for the impassioned french-speaking ones.
It is clearly understood that a bond will be to create towards your site.
You can send your response by e-mail to me at my address belasco@skynet.be .
By hoping that my modest project will approve you,
Pascal BEL

Hi Graham
St John's Wood Road station was on the Metropolitan and St John's Wood railway, which was opened as far as Swiss Cottage in April 1868. Being close to the Lords cricket ground it was very busy during the cricket season. So much so it was even found necessary to provide a temporary ticket office within the ground to relieve the congestion at the station’s office.
The station was rebuilt in 1925 and when reopened it was renamed St John's Wood; it first appeared as such in the 4th edition of the Stingemoor maps in Jan. 1927.
On the first of Harry Beck’s map of 1933, you will notice that the Gillespie Road station on the Piccadilly line has been renamed Arsenal. This was at the request of Herbert Chapman (the then Arsenal Football Club manager) due to its proximity to the Club and the number of people using the station to visit the ground. It was with this precedence that the Marylebone Cricket Club requested that St John's Wood Station be renamed Lords; this was done and appears as such, as you point out, on the 1939 map. However this was short lived, the station was closed during the war, as without the visitors to the cricket ground the station was otherwise very quiet; unfortunately for the Club it was never reopened.
The existing St John’s Wood Station was opened as part of the Bakerloo extension to Stanmore (now the Jubilee Line) just five months after the naming of the Lords Station.
The Jarvis Hotel was indeed built over the station and there are some interesting pictures on the following web page: http://www.pendar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Tube/Lords.html
Hope this clarifies, Clive
