Originally called the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway, the Bakerloo line was constructed by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London and opened between Baker Street and Lambeth North in 1906. It was extended to Elephant & Castle five months later, on 5th August. The contraction of the name to "Bakerloo" rapidly caught on, and the official name was changed to match in July 1906. By 1913, the line had been extended from its original northern terminus at Baker Street to the west with interchange stations with the Great Central Railway at Marylebone and the Great Western Railway at Paddington, and a new station at Edgware Road. In 1915 the line was extended to Queen's Park when Kilburn Park station was opened. Kilburn Park was one of the first London Underground stations built specifically to use escalators rather than lifts.
