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.

Looking east from the eastern end of the island platform at Mansion House tube station. The far left platform is used for through eastbound services, while through westbound trains call at the right hand platform. The centre platform is a bay road and thus only used for terminating services.

The plaque at Rotherhite tube station marking the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Thames Tunnel that runs north from this station under the River Thames to Wapping station. The tunnel, the first successfull tunnel under a river anywhere in the word was constructed between 1825 and 1843 by Sir Marc Brunel and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Developments of the innovative shield method used to build the tunnel are used to construct tunnels to this day.
The Thames Tunnel is both an "International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark" and a World Heritage Site. Photo by Chris McKenna14/02/2006. |

This is Ongar Station at what was until 1994 the rural eastern end of the Central Line.
It is now home of the Epping Ongar Railway which hopefully later in 2004
will start running trains as far as North Weald. Although the electrified Central Line
reached Epping in 1949, steam was used on the branch until 1957 and even after this date
could still be seen on freight.

The westbound platforms at London Underground's Leytonstone station on the Central Line, photographed looking west from the eastern end. The line diverges immediately east of this station, with trains from Epping calling at the right-hand platform, these services typically terminate at West Ruislip. Trains from the Hainault loop call at the left-hand platform, and then terminate at Ealing Broadway in west London. All eastbound trains stop at the same platform, occupied by the train in the right of this photograph.

Mile End London Underground station is unique in being the only below ground station to offer cross-platform interchange between sub-surface and deep-level lines. It is also the only station from which you can reach every other station on the network with a maximum of one change (although this is only true of Chesham station, the most northerly on the network at the far end of the Metropolitan line, in the peak hours, at other times a second change is needed at Chalfont and Latimer). This photograph shows the platforms seriving sub-surface District and Hammersmith and City lines, the deep-level Central line calls at the two outer platforms.

London Underground's Rayner's Lane station, looking east from the western end of the westbound platform. East of here the Piccadilly and Metropolitan line trains that have shared the tracks from Uxbridge diverge with the former heading for the city via Acton Town and Earl's Court and the latter via Wembley Park and Baker Street.

THE FIRST LONDON UNDERGROUND ROUNDEL IS 100 YEARS OLD.
In 1908 the companies operating London's Underground trains agreed to have just one symbol to represent all the different lines. The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. This is one of the earlier versions of today's Roundel pictured appropriately enough at London Underground's main office at St.James's Park station in November 2008. More pictures of LONDON UNDERGROUND marking this event can be seen on our site below.

The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. Some of London's stations dating from the early 1900s not only make splendid use of tiles but also have the name of the station spelt out with them....a really nice touch in my opinion! This can be seen here at recently re-furbished Regents Park on the Bakerloo Line where a modern looking roundel does not look out of place. Pictured in November 2008.

The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. This very colourful roundel brackground is at Marble Arch on the Central Line and pictured in November 2008. Amazingly this design is just one of MANY at the station making it one of the Undergrounds most colourful stops. More pictures of LONDON UNDERGROUND marking this event can be seen on our site below.

The famous iconic Roundel we know today however did not start to appear until the early 1920s. Another station to feature tiles is Marylebone on the Bakerloo Line that also retains a nice historic touch as the words 'Great Central' can still be seen on the walls. Marylebone was of course the London terminus for that railway company and although one of the Capitals smaller terminus stations is today in November 2008 a very thriving one.

From a railway viewpoint there is the classic London Underground Roundel and lamps marking an entrance to Piccadilly Circus Tube Station. Meanwhile Routemaster buses can still be seen on the streets of the Capital, be it on just two routes. In fact there are plans for a replacement!
