@@AtheistOrphan It's very curious. I also remember that on tube maps, and the renaming came as a surprise (associated with the building of the new Barbican Centre). But Wikipedia gives the 1924 date and two sources to back it up. So was the "official" name just not shown anywhere? On my dad's old 1950ish A to Z, the tube map shows Hillingdon (Swakeleys), Holborn (Kingsway), South Woodford (George Lane) etc, but just Aldersgate. (It also includes the proposed Alexandra Palace and Camberwell extensions as broken lines, and Epping-Ongar as not yet electrified).

St. Johns Wood (Met) Station was renamed Lord's in the last months before its closure in 1938 or 1939. St. Johns Wood (Bakerloo) was originally to be named Acacia Road according to a pre-war pocket tube map I have (somewhere) but presumably this was to avoid confusion. I don't know if the two stations were ever open at the same time and this is why the Bakerloo station was given the St. Johns Wood designation. The Metropolitan station was just over the road from Lord's Cricket Ground.

love the footage at Barbican and from 4:10 at Farringdon, showing the now disused Widened Lines tracks to Moorgate - initially trains only went east to Moorgate, then Thameslink services also went south through the reopened Snow Hill tunnel (to the right of picture). However, new 12-car trains meant the East/Southbound platform at Farringdon had to be extended across the junction, hence cutting off the line to Moorgate. The history of these lines and those nearby should tell us that we should not abandon/build on anything - keep the trackbeds viable, just in case, especially in such a constrained (and expensive) location such as London.

Sorry to be pedantic, but this was not a tale from the tube, it was a tale from the underground.

What are we looking at at 4:10 ? I see one set of tracks on the left and what could be tracked for two other sets of lines to the right. Former lines? Designated for future lines?

They appear to be the remains of St. Mary's curve, which was a connection at Whitechapel to the East London line, which is now part of the Overground. So they're former lines with no known (or possible?) future.

See Jago ? vid on City Widened Lines. They are the pair of tracks that were part of the Bedpan line route to Moorgate, but are also near a set of stub tracks/sidings for some Moorgate stock but now out of use when Thameslink needed longer trains that blocked the pointwork or some such excuse.
