    Watford station will be closing in the next year or two and weary passengers will trudge up down those steps for the final time.

    I think it was the woman that played Kat that thought it was a real tube station.
    Apparently when she got the job she thought it was a right touch that she would be able to get to work so easy.

    No. Pretty sure leytonstone is another

    Technically you enter the station via a subway but you go upstairs to get to the platforms.

    According to this page: http://www.geofftech.co.uk/tube/facts.html

    The page is a good read though if you're into this kind of thing. Some interesting tidbits/pub quiz ammo.

    I reckon you could get from the Kensington (Olympia) platform to the street without passing through barriers. Am I right?

    Farringdon?

    Looks brand spanking new but you can walk on to the tube from the rail platforms without any barriers. Not sure about getting in and out of the station itself - presumably as their are oyster machines on the platform.

    I have. I am part of the Ticket Office closure program.
    Part of the closures mean that a viewing window needs to be provided over the ticket gates, except for this station as it has no barriers.

    It is on the Central Line

    Her lawyers contacted Channel 4 about her mighty boosh character. C4 called the lawyers in to view it and it came to nothing in the end.

    Edit: Bo Selecta, not mighty boosh.

    Fair enough. I wasn't having a go, just know plenty of pub quiz types who insist their answer is right when Google says otherwise, but Google can be wrong and LU is revamping a lot of stations so any info more than a few weeks old is likely to be inaccurate. Luckily you're one of the people in a position to actually have authority on this.
