I can't remember when Earls Court's District and Circle line platforms were not crammed up with scaffolding! It's all starting to come down now, revealing aerial walkways, lifts and ramps. The station is over 140 years old. Nice to see the old white-on-blue destination indicators still in place.
Above: the train just leaving Castlebar Park for South Greenford and Greenford. I do remember when the line was surrounded by fields. Before the council estate to the left of the track, or the school and houses to the right of the track were built, this halt was a fair walk from the nearest building.
