150 YEARS OF RAILWAY HISTORY. On August 19th 2006 London Underground's Central Line from Leyton to Loughton was 150 years old and therefore forms the oldest part of the Tube network. This is Leyton where little remains of the original station but apparently the awnings still date from 1888. This view is looking east in the direction of Leytonstone where the line divides.
