Talk:High Street Kensington tube station

Has never been a tube station.
It has never been an "tube" station or been used by tube station stock. In fact only subsurface metro has been using it and it is in the open air. It has known steam traction. Why not call it: High Street Kensington station? Smiley.toerist (talk) 22:47, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

It is probably an old discussion as al other metro stations not connected to the national rail are also called tube stations. It is the same as calling all high speed trains "bullet trains". Smiley.toerist (talk) 22:52, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * We know... but per Naming conventions (UK stations) and WikiProject London/Naming conventions, any station which has London Underground and no other rail operator is a "tube station". Just look at the others in and . -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

High Street Ken is on the Tube. As are overground stations on the District and Circle lines etc. That's official, and I've never heard of Londoners referring to the Tube selectively based on an underground/surface line distinction: so I guess it must be common name territory. On the other hand, there is a distinction between the London Overground and the Tube. Hope that helps, —MistyMorn (talk) 10:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
