[9], The Bayswater, Paddington, and Holborn Bridge Railway Company was established to connect the Great Western Railway's (GWR's) Paddington station to Pearson's route at King's Cross. This dropped from 1900 onwards as electric trams and the Central London Railway attracted passengers away;[210] a low of .mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}12 per cent was reached in 19071908. The intermediate station at Kingsbury Neasden (now Neasden) was opened the same day. [143] Electrification had been considered by the Met as early as the 1880s, but such a method of traction was still in its infancy, and agreement would be needed with the District because of the shared ownership of the Inner Circle. Contractors for the works were Smith & Knight to the west of Euston Square and John Jay on the eastern section. Steam locomotives were used north of Rickmansworth until the early 1960s when they were replaced following the electrification to Amersham and the introduction of electric multiple units, London Transport withdrawing its service north of Amersham. Unlike other railway companies in the London area, the Met developed land for housing, and after World War I promoted housing estates near the railway using the "Metro-land" brand. The first trip over the whole line was in May 1862 with William Gladstone among the guests. Some trains continued to be steam hauled. The company promoted itself as "The Met" from about 1914. [9] While it attempted to raise the funds it presented new bills to Parliament seeking an extension of time to carry out the works. [169], After the Met and the District had withdrawn from the ELR in 1906, services were provided by the South Eastern Railway, the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) and the Great Eastern Railway. [134] The Met protested before it was agreed that it would build the lines for the MS&LR's exclusive use. The following year, a bill was jointly presented by the Met and GNR with amended plans that would have also allowed a connection between the GN&CR and GNR at Finsbury Park. By 1907, 40 of the class A and B locomotives had been sold or scrapped and by 1914 only 13 locomotives of these classes had been retained[244] for shunting, departmental work and working trains over the Brill Tramway. [151] The use of six-car trains was considered wasteful on the lightly used line to Uxbridge and in running an off-peak three-car shuttle to Harrow the Met aroused the displeasure of the Board of Trade for using a motor car to propel two trailers. [102] Financial difficulties meant the scope of the line only progressed as far as Swiss Cottage,[103] The branch to Hampstead was cancelled in 1870. [204], In the 1920s, off-peak there was a train every 45minutes from Wembley Park to Baker Street. During construction the Railways Act 1921 meant that in 1923 the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) replaced the GCR. The GWR began running standard-gauge trains and the broad gauge rail was removed from the H&CR and the Met in 1869. [68], Starting as a branch from Praed Street junction, a short distance east of the Met's Paddington station, the western extension passed through fashionable districts in Bayswater, Notting Hill, and Kensington. These were not fitted with the condensing equipment needed to work south of Finchley Road. With improved fittings they were popular, and it was not long before the Met started the conversion over to electric propulsion, initially with separate locos, then converting some brake thirds to motor coaches. [185], In 1925, a branch opened from Rickmansworth to Watford. In 1880, the Met secured the coal traffic of the Harrow District Gas Co., worked from an exchange siding with the Midland at Finchley Road to a coal yard at Harrow. [206] Maintaining a frequency of ten trains an hour on the circle was proving difficult and the solution chosen was for the District to extend its Putney to Kensington High Street service around the circle to Edgware Road, using the new platforms, and the Met to provide all the inner circle trains at a frequency of eight trains an hour. This was one of the first electric railroads in the country, and the first in Portland. Fish to Billingsgate Market via the Met and the District joint station at Monument caused some complaints, leaving the station approaches in an "indescribably filthy condition". (Inner Circle Completion) of the Metropolitan and District Railways. Goods and coal depots were provided at most of the stations on the extension line as they were built. During the extension of the railway to Aldgate several hundred cartloads of bullocks' horn were discovered in a layer 20ft (6.1m) below the surface. Metropolitan Railway Dreadnought coach Brake 3rd (7 compartment) Competition with the Great Central Railway on outer suburban services on the extension line saw the introduction of more comfortable Dreadnought Stock carriages from 1910. Soon after the opening disagreement arose between the Met and the GWR over the need to increase the frequency, and the GWR withdrew its stock in August 1863. The Metropolitan Railway (also known as the Met) [note 1] was a passenger and goods railway that served London from 1863 to 1933, its main line heading north-west from the capital's financial heart in the City to what were to become the Middlesex suburbs. [183] MRCE developed estates at Kingsbury Garden Village near Neasden, Wembley Park, Cecil Park and Grange Estate at Pinner, and the Cedars Estate at Rickmansworth, and created places such as Harrow Garden Village. The original intention of the M&SJWR was to run to the London and North Western Railway's station at Finchley Road (now Finchley Road & Frognal). This promoted the land served by the Met for the walker, visitor and later the house-hunter. The bogies and roof are separate. The track was relaid and stations rebuilt in 1903. It hauled their last steam hauled passenger train in 1961 and continued to work until 1965. [135] When rebuilding bridges over the lines from Wembley Park to Harrow for the MS&LR, seeing a future need the Met quadrupled the line at the same time and the MS&LR requested exclusive use of two tracks. It was soon found that A and B Classes could manage trains without difficulty and the 0-6-0Ts were sold to the Taff Vale Railway in 1873 and 1875. The line was electrified with automatic colour light signals controlled from a signal box at Wembley Park and opened on 9 December 1932. These passenger coaches were originally owned by the Metropolitan Railway. The District's level of debt meant that the merger was no longer attractive to the Met and did not proceed, so the Met's directors resigned from the District's board. The District continued to provide four trains on Sundays to keep crews familiar with the route. [178][note 34], In 1912, Selbie, then General Manager, thought that some professionalism was needed and suggested a company be formed to take over from the Surplus Lands Committee to develop estates near the railway. [260] After some derailments in 1887, a new design of 27feet 6inches (8.38m) long rigid-wheelbase four-wheelers known as Jubilee Stock was built by the Cravens Railway Carriage and Wagon Co. for the extension line. [106][107] In 1873, the M&SJWR was given authority to reach the Middlesex countryside at Neasden,[108][note 25] but as the nearest inhabited place to Neasden was Harrow it was decided to build the line 3.5 miles (5.6km) further to Harrow[109] and permission was granted in 1874. The Met's chairman and three other directors were on the board of the District, John Fowler was the engineer of both companies and the construction works for all of the extensions were let as a single contract. [248], Two locomotives survive: A Class No. [66] To complete the circuit, the committee encouraged the amalgamation of two schemes via different routes between Kensington and the City, and a combined proposal under the name Metropolitan District Railway (commonly known as the District railway) was agreed on the same day. [68][69] The District was established as a separate company to enable funds to be raised independently of the Met. [215] In 1932, the last full year of operation, a 1+58 per cent dividend was declared. [33] In the first 12 months 9.5million passengers were carried[22] and in the second 12 months this increased to 12million. The first order was only for motor cars; half had Westinghouse brakes, Metro-Vickers control systems and four MV153 motors; they replaced the motor cars working with bogie stock trailers. [75][76], On Saturday 1 July 1871 an opening banquet was attended by Prime Minister William Gladstone, who was also a shareholder. These had GEC WT545 motors, and although designed to work in multiple with the MV153, this did not work well in practice. [198] Another attempt was made in 1927 to extend the Watford branch across Cassiobury Park to the town centre, the Met purchasing a property on Watford High Street with the intention of converting it to a station. The GWR used eight-wheeled compartment carriages constructed from teak. 1, damaged in an accident. Four more were built by Hawthorn Leslie & Co in 1900 and 1901. [272], From 1906, some of the Ashbury bogie stock was converted into electric multiple units. 509 Keighley 27/06/08. The beautiful coaches of the GCR shamed the Metropolitan Railway into producing these "Dreadnought" coaches. [267] Two rakes were formed with a Pullman coach that provided a buffet service for a supplementary fare. Stations between Hammersmith and Richmond served by the Met were. The MS&LR wished these trains to also use the GWR route from Aylesbury via Princes Risborough into London, whereas the Met considered this was not covered by the agreement. [276], In the early 1920s, the Met placed an order with Metropolitan-Vickers of Barrow-in-Furness for rebuilding the 20 electric locomotives. [96], In April 1868, the Metropolitan & St John's Wood Railway (M&SJWR) opened a single-track railway in tunnel to Swiss Cottage from new platforms at Baker Street (called Baker Street East). [236] When in 1925 the Met classified its locomotives by letters of the alphabet, these were assigned A Class and B Class. grand river waterfront homes for sale; valentine michael manson; 29. Off-peak, stations north of Moor Park were generally served by Marylebone trains. 176.jpg 4,032 3,024; 1.89 MB Museum rollingstock, Oxenhope (geograph 5905729).jpg 4,245 2,706; 2.33 MB NER 1661 Clerestory Saloon built 1904.jpg 2,288 1,712; 1.21 MB [89], Conflict between the Met and the District and the expense of construction delayed further progress on the completion of the inner circle. [71], The first section of the Met extension opened to Brompton (Gloucester Road) (now Gloucester Road) on 1 October 1868,[68] with stations at Paddington (Praed Street) (now Paddington), Bayswater, Notting Hill Gate, and Kensington (High Street) (now High Street Kensington). [127] Negotiations about the line between the GCR and the Met took several years and in 1906 it was agreed that two tracks from Canfield Place to Harrow would be leased to the GCR for 20,000 a year and the Metropolitan and Great Central Joint Railway was created, leasing the line from Harrow to Verney Junction and the Brill branch for 44,000 a year, the GCR guaranteeing to place at least 45,000 of traffic on the line. The report recommended more openings be authorised but the line was electrified before these were built. [224] In 1932, before it became part of London Underground, the company owned 544 goods vehicles and carried 162,764 long tons (165,376t) of coal, 2,478,212 long tons (2,517,980t) of materials and 1,015,501 long tons (1,031,797t) tons of goods. With the pressurised gas lighting system and non-automatic vacuum brakes from new, steam heating was added later. [150], Electric multiple units began running on 1 January 1905 and by 20 March all local services between Baker Street and Harrow were electric. One of these came from Rickmansworth and another from Harrow, the rest started at Willesden Green. [269][note 42] The Vintage Carriages Trust has three preserved Dreadnought carriages. [232], Concern about smoke and steam in the tunnels led to new designs of steam locomotive. On the same day the Met extended some H&CR services over the ELR to New Cross, calling at new joint stations at Aldgate East and St Mary's. [21][22], The trench was 33feet 6inches (10.2m) wide, with brick retaining walls supporting an elliptical brick arch or iron girders spanning 28feet 6inches (8.7m). [32][126], From Quainton Road, the Duke of Buckingham had built a 6.5-mile (10.5km) branch railway, the Brill Tramway. [155] GWR rush hour services to the city continued to operate, electric traction taking over from steam at Paddington[158] from January 1907,[152] although freight services to Smithfield continued to be steam hauled throughout. (Including Plates at Back of Volume)", "The City Lines and Extensions. [63][note 17], The early success of the Met prompted a flurry of applications to Parliament in 1863 for new railways in London, many of them competing for similar routes. There were generally two services per hour from both Watford and Uxbridge that ran non-stop from Wembley Park and stopping services started from Rayners Lane, Wembley Park, and Neasden; most did not stop at Marlborough Road and St John's Wood Road. [273] In 1910, two motor cars were modified with driving cabs at both ends. Competition with the Great Central Railway on outer suburban services on the extension line saw the introduction of more comfortable Dreadnought Stock carriages from 1910.includeonly> A total of 92 of these wooden compartment carriages were built, . [50] By 1864 the Met had sufficient carriages and locomotives to run its own trains and increase the frequency to six trains an hour. wheel First (body) built 1864", "Metropolitan Railway Nine Compartment Third No. More recently, it hauled the steam trains on the circle line earlier this year celebrating 150 years of the London Underground. The line left the main line at St Paul's Road Junction, entering a double-track tunnel and joining the Widened Lines at Midland Junction.[55]. 12 "Sarah Siddons" has been used for heritage events, and ran during the Met's 150th anniversary celebrations. [note 33] Initially, the surplus land was managed by the Land Committee, made up of Met directors. Where the branch met the extension line two junctions were built, allowing trains access to Rickmansworth and London. [105] A short length towards Hampstead was unused. [23] The tunnels were wider at stations to accommodate the platforms. Chiltern Court became one of the most prestigious addresses in London. [225] The arrival of the GCR gave connections to the north at Quainton Road and south via Neasden, Acton and Kew. These started work on the Circle, including the new service to New Cross via the ELR. [79] At the other end of the line, the District part of South Kensington station opened on 10 July 1871 [80][note 21] and Earl's Court station opened on the West Brompton extension on 30 October 1871. Met shareholders received 19.7 million in LPTB stock. [144] This was accepted by both parties until the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL) took control of the District. Other railway's goods depots had already opened near Farringdon on the Widened Lines. The Land Clauses Consolidation Act 1845 required railways to sell off surplus lands within ten years of the time given for completion of the work in the line's enabling Act. The tunnels were large enough to take a main-line train with an internal diameter of 16 feet (4.9m), in contrast to those of the Central London Railway with a diameter less than 12 feet (3.7m). After the war, the Trade Facilities Act 1921 offered government financial guarantees for capital projects that promoted employment, and taking advantage of this construction started in 1922. These consisted of Metropolitan Railway steam locomotive number 1, built at Neasden in 1898, hauling a train comprising 4 teak livered carriages built in 1898/1900 and known as Chesham stock, restored Metropolitan Railway "Jubilee" coach 353 of 1892 and milk van 3 of 1896. Costs were reduced by cutting back part of the route at the western end so that it did not connect directly to the GWR station, and by dropping the line south of Farringdon. Nearly one hundred Dreadnoughts were built between 1910 and 1923. Guards were permitted no relief breaks during their shift until September 1885, when they were permitted three 20-minute breaks. [229], Coal for the steam locomotives, the power station at Neasden and local gasworks were brought in via Quainton Road. Only Fenchurch Street station was within the City. [222], Until 1880, the Met did not run goods trains although goods trains ran over its tracks when the GNR began a service to the LC&DR via Farringdon Street, followed by a service from the Midland Railway. [217] The branch transferred to the Jubilee line when that line opened in 1979. This report noted that between Edgware Road and King's Cross there were 528 passenger and 14 freight trains every weekday and during the peak hour there were 19 trains each way between Baker Street and King's Cross, 15longcwt (760kg) of coal was burnt and 1,650impgal (7,500L) water was used, half of which was condensed, the rest evaporating. [66][67][note 19] [230][231] Milk was conveyed from Vale of Aylesbury to the London suburbs and foodstuffs from Vine Street to Uxbridge for Alfred Button & Son, wholesale grocers. [145] [148] The necessary Act was passed in 1899 and construction on the 7.5 miles (12.1km) long branch started in September 1902, requiring 28 bridges and a 1.5-mile (2.4km) long viaduct with 71 arches at Harrow. For a short time, while the Met's station was being built, services ran into the GER station via a 3.5-chain (70m) curve. [87], In 1895, the MS&LR put forward a bill to Parliament to build two tracks from Wembley Park to Canfield Place, near Finchley Road station, to allow its express trains to pass the Met's stopping service. [37] Eighteen were ordered in 1864, initially carrying names,[234] and by 1870 40 had been built. In May 1860, a GNR train overshot the platform at King's Cross and fell into the workings. [288] A trailer coach built in 1904/05 is stored at London Transport Museum's Acton Depot; it has been badly damaged by fire,[289] and the Spa Valley Railway is home to two T stock coaches. The cheapest coaches on the market were some ex-Metropolitan Railway coaches, dating from the turn of the last century, for which London Transport were asking only 65 each. The LPTB cut back services to Aylesbury, closing the Brill and Vern In 1801, approximately one million people lived in the area that is now, The route was to run from the south end of Westbourne Terrace, under Grand Junction Road (now Sussex Gardens), Southampton Road (now Old Marylebone Road) and New Road (now. [16] The line was mostly built using the "cut-and-cover" method from Paddington to King's Cross; east of there it continued in a 728 yards (666m) tunnel under Mount Pleasant, Clerkenwell then followed the culverted River Fleet beside Farringdon Road in an open cutting to near the new meat market at Smithfield. [48], A pair of single-track tunnels at King's Cross connecting the GNR to the Met opened on 1 October 1863 when the GNR began running services,[49][note 15] the GWR returning the same day with through suburban trains from such places as Windsor. In 1909, limited through services to the City restarted. Eventually the UERL controlled all the underground railways except the Met and the Waterloo & City and introduced station name boards with a red disc and a blue bar. The new locomotives were built in 19221923 and named after famous London residents. [5], The congested streets and the distance to the City from the stations to the north and west prompted many attempts to get parliamentary approval to build new railway lines into the City. Full electric service started on 24 September, reducing the travel time around the circle from 70 to 50 minutes. This was considered a success, tenders were requested and in 1901 a Met and District joint committee recommended the Ganz three-phase AC system with overhead wires. A total of 92 of these wooden compartment carriages were built. [111] Two years later, the single-track tunnel between Baker Street and Swiss Cottage was duplicated and the M&SJWR was absorbed by the Met. In Leinster Gardens, Bayswater, a faade of two five-storey houses was built at Nos. The line opened from Westminster to Blackfriars on 30 May 1870[72] with stations at Charing Cross (now Embankment), The Temple (now Temple) and Blackfriars. With the opening in 1900 of the Central London Railway from Shepherd's Bush to the City with a flat fare of 2d, the District and the Met together lost four million passengers between the second half of 1899 and the second half of 1900. First class were obviously better illuminated, as their tanks were 24" diameter, as against only 20" for the third class passengers.
