Highest station claim[edit]

The trivia stating that Oakwood is the highest station on the Piccadilly line is incorrect. Google Earth shows Cockfosters Station to be at 100m above sea level. DavidUri 12:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where Google Earth gets its altitutde data, but a check at the Ordnance Survey's Get-a-map site shows that Cockfosters station is between the 95m and 100m contour lines so the Trivia statement is clearly wrong. The statement was originally added on 2 May 2006 by User:IsarSteve and I have queried the source and the odd statement about the Urals mountain on his talkpage. --DavidCane 15:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The information has two sources.. I personally remember seeing the bronze plaque in the 1970s & the details also appear in the Piccadilly Line Managements (East Area) 1993 publication: Piccadilly Line Extension The Diamond Anniversary. It may not be the highest point on the Piccadilly Line, but in 1933 London Transport thought it was!!! --IsarSteve 07:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. Both a strange statement to want to commemorate on a plaque and odd that they would apparently get it wrong. I wonder what promoted the decision to erect the plaque - perhaps a visit from a Soviet delegation to see the new extension. --DavidCane 00:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Second most northerly?[edit]

Epping, Theydon Bois, Cockfosters, High Barnet and Chesham are all further North than Oakwood.
See http://homepages.tesco.net/houseofsteel/geoff-files/sillymaps/tubegeo.jpg for evidence
Unless of course you meant second most northerly Piccadilly station —Preceding unsigned comment added by --AsparagusTips (talk) 14:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)62.60.98.134 (talk) 14:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
