Wood Street railway station

I fail to see what makes this station notable. What happens, or has happened at this station to make it notable and worthy of a Wikipedia article? Gordonrox24 ''' &#124; Talk 19:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Precedent is that all railway stations (and many former railways stations) are notable. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:37, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: mentioned in at least 40 books going back to as early as 1878. A longstanding notable local landmark, used for navigation by cyclists and entomologists in particular it seems. Qwfp (talk) 20:25, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep (1) Precedent says that all current railway stations in the United Kingdom are sufficiently notable for their own articles. (2) this is a historic station not least because the Victoria Line was due to terminate here. (3) per Qwfp, this is a local landmark. (4) it is covered in many reliable sources. (5) it was teh site of an accident in 1939 that led to questions in parliament about the safety of railways in foggy conditions during the blackout. Thryduulf (talk) 23:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Thryduulf. --DMG413 (talk) 00:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
