Talk:Blake Hall tube station

Poet Laureate
Wasn't a poet laureate given a job here so that he had a regular income and few distractions? Or is that an urban myth associated with the station? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bendel boy (talk • contribs) 14:44, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Tube Station?
Shouldn't the title be "Blake Hall Station" or "Blake Hall Railway Station"? It is not a tube station. None of the other stations on the Epping-Ongar line are described as !tube stations". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4C8:1038:E25C:5897:8A48:181A:7969 (talk) 07:35, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * It was closed when the Epping-Ongar section was still part of the Central line. It has not been reopened in preservation. Please also note that in page names, we do not capitalise the words "railway" and "station". -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 11:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I would agree that the article name is misleading. The station, opened 1865, was only effectively a 'tube' station run by London Underground from 1957 to 1981... 92 years a railway station (add the latest 14 years operated by EOR making 106 years) against 24 years as a tube station. I think the best name for the article is "Blake Hall station" which covers the article's various descriptions of the place. If an argument against this is that we name/describe an entity by the last/latest name or its current designation, then it still wouldn't be a tube/Underground station, and we would have to change the names of the other EOR stations to 'tube'. The argument for consistency in the initial query that the other stations on the EOR (also previously on the Central Line for 24 years) are described 'railway station', is a strong one.
