- A trip along the Metropolitan Railway filmed in 1910, followed with a side-by-side trip along the same tracks in the 21st century.
In 1910 we visit, in turn, Baker Street, St John's Wood, Marlborough Road, Swiss Cottage, Finchley Road, West Hampstead, Kilburn, Willesden Green, Neasden, Wembley Park, Harrow, Ruislip and Uxbridge.
The modern version sees an all-stop service from Baker Street to Uxbridge.
That was terribly well lined up between old and new and amazingly still so similar in so many ways including that Baker St platform I have used for 40 years and counting so very often. We owe so much to those early engineers who built it all.
I took days to work the lining ups out!
Brilliant! Thank you 👍
Glad you liked it!
Really well done, appreciate all of that work.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for your efforts.
All the best
So nice of you - thank you!
Really enjoyable
Interesting we had steam engines on the main line as late as 1967 when we had electric railways as early as this.
Interesting that they made all those black-on-white station signs in 1910 just for this film (many of them would have been hidden from passenger view).
I think the filming was done by the Metropolitan Railway itself
Enjoyed that! Worked in Dollis hill for 37 years now, and did 4 years at willesden tech from '69.
Thanks!
Interesting.
Thanks
I was here thinking I'd be seeing an indoor theme park in Gateshead. 😃
We should do a Tyne and Wear metro video - cover all bases!
1910, le personnel est au garde à vous sur les quais.... jplobet
