Metropolitan and Piccadilly Lines in Ruislip

The Metropolitan Railway completed their line to Uxbridge in 1904. Later, in 1910, the District Line made a connection to the Metropolitan Railway at Rayners Lane enabling them to run trains to Uxbridge too. Finally in 1933 the Piccadilly Line replaced the District Line, so both Lines use the same track. This view was taken from the Wood Lane bridge. The building beyond the tracks is the Ruislip Waitrose.
