Underground and National Railways Safety See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge This section only covers those stations that can still be seen from passing trains. St. Mary's (Whitechapel Road) : District/Hammersmith & City between Aldgate East and Whitechapel. Accompanied by a curve connecting to the East London Line between Whitechapel & Shadwell. (Look on your *left* if you're travelling facing the direction of travel between Shadwell and Whitechapel, or on your *right* if you're facing the direction of travel between Aldgate East and Whitechapel). Tower Hill/Mark Lane : District/Circle Line just past the present Tower Hill in the direction of Monument. Look on the right as you're leaving the station (or left if you're travelling towards Tower Hill) and you should be able to see the stairs leading up from the Eastbound platform. Westbound trains run through the Westbound platform at Mark Lane as they've turned the original westbound line at the current Tower Hill into an island platform with the original line being used for terminating trains. The current station is on the site of the original, temporary, terminus at Tower of London. British Museum : Just to the west of Holborn on the Central Line. British Museum was closed when the interchange with the Piccadilly Line was opened in 1933. King's Cross : Just to the east of the present Hammersmith & City, Circle and Metropolitan Line station. The station was relocated in March 1941 to improve the interchange with the tube lines (at that time the Northern and Piccadilly). Thameslink services still serve the platforms on the Widened Lines just the other side of the wall behind the old westbound platform. Brompton Road : Between South Kensington and Knightsbridge on the Piccadilly. Down Street : Between Hyde Park Corner and Green Park on the Piccadilly Line. York Road : Between King's X St. Pancras and Caledonian Road on the Piccadilly. South Kentish Town : Between Kentish Town and Camden Town on the Northern Line. City Road : Between Angel and Old Street on the Northern Line. Lord's, Marlborough Road & Swiss Cottage : On the Metropolitan Line between Baker Street and Finchley Road. Lord's & Marlborough Road Closed on 19 Nov 1939, with Swiss Cottage closing on 17 Aug 1940. The replacement stations of St. John's Wood and Swiss Cottage (Jubilee) opened on 20 Nov 1939, along with the rest of the Bakerloo Line (now Jubilee) branch from Baker Street to Wembley Park which then took over the Metropolitan Line branch from there to Stanmore (except for a peak hours only service between Rayners Lane and Aldgate, calling at all intermediate stations, which ran until 07 Dec 1940). Preston Road : On the Metropolitan Line slightly east of the modern station. Westbourne Park : On the Hammersmith and City Line, slightly west of the modern station. Wood Lane : On the Central Line, slightly east of White City. White City : On the Hammersmith & City Line between Shepherd's Bush and Latimer Road. Close to Wood Lane (Central Line).
