Doctor who - The web of fear
edit"The TARDIS narrowly avoids becoming engulfed in a web-like substance in space. It then arrives in the London Underground railway system, the tunnels of which are being overrun by the web and by the Great Intelligence's robot Yeti." Goodge Street was one of the underground stations for the setting :) [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingkong77 (talk • contribs) 13:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
pronunciation
editIs it pronounced with a short or long [u]?--Imz (talk) 18:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- Standard British English is long [oo]. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 18:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you!--Imz (talk) 00:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
It should be pronounced 'Good-j'. That's how people pronounced it for years, until TfL started rhyming it with 'Scrooge'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.17.8 (talk) 22:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Platform tiles
editThe article states that "The platforms still retain the tiling pattern of the original Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (CCEHR) company". But I don't think this is correct -- the tiling on the platforms clearly dates from the 1980s. WillNL (talk) 14:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Removed
editThe following was previously in the section on the deep-level air-raid shelter:
- In addition, General Eisenhower did not make any D Day announcement broadcast from the Goodge Street Station or any commercial radio station. He first sent an encoded dispatch to President Roosevelt and then called Prime Minister Churchill. His decision to launch the invasion was made from his invasion headquarters at Southwick House, near Portsmouth. Check www.historyarticles.com.
This looks to me like someone's attempt to correct a former error, but it doesn't make much sense in the article as it stands now. If it's relevant (if there is, for example, a common claim that Eisenhower did make the D-Day announcement from the Goodge Street shelter), it should be restored with a citation in a manner that makes sense. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:57, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
