005 - Upney
Upney station was opened in 1932, on a mainline railway that had been running since the 1880s. The station has only ever been served by District line trains, but it was built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway who owned the mainline at the time, and was run by LMS and then British Railways staff until 1969.
