taken 18/12/13; The other Edgware Road station lies to the south-east of the Bakerloo line station at the junction of Chapel and Cabbell Streets and opened as part of the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon in 1863. Nowadays the station is served by the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines and the best description I can find on the net is as follows:

citytransport.info/Circle.htm

"The usual service pattern is: platform 1 for outer rail services to Kings Cross, Liverpool Street and beyond, platform 2 for circle line to High Street Kensington and Victoria, platform 3 for district line trains to Earls Court and Wimbledon, and platform 4 (inner rail) for Shepherds Bush Market and Hammersmith. This may vary in times of disruption - trains can go east from any of platforms 1 2 and 3 and to any of the westbound destinations from platforms 2 3 or 4."

To which Wikipedia adds:

"Since December 2009, Circle line trains call at the station twice on each journey: initially as a through service from Hammersmith towards Liverpool Street, then as the terminus for that same service completing the loop via Victoria (or the same journey in reverse). There are no longer through trains here between the northern part of the Circle line and its western part."

Taken 05/12/12: Although it is a fair walk from this sign through a subway until you reach the station. This is the first in a series of uploads I'll be inflicting on the Flickrsphere following a coach trip to London yesterday; a trip arranged by a colleaque at work and twenty quid for a day in London struck me as a fair deal.

Taken 05/12/12: The Metropolitan District Railway (MDR) opened this station in 1869 as the terminus of its extension from Gloucester Road station. The station was sited parallel with the existing West London Extension Joint Railway's station which joined the southern end of the West London Joint Railway at Kensington (Olympia) station with Clapham Junction station. In 1880, the MDR opened an extension south from West Brompton to Putney Bridge and the line reached Wimbledon in 1889.
