Elm Avenue, RUISLIP, HA4 8PG

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. Here an Uxbridge-bound Metropolitan Line train, glistening after a recent heavy rain shower, approaches Ruislip Manor station, with Unit No. 5138 leading. With the sun shining brightly the front of the train has an oddly orange colour, not the usual red, and despite all of London Underground's security a graffiti tagger has still managed to disfigure the livery. This view was taken from the footbridge taking the public footpath over the tracks between Elm and Linden Avenues. For a view in the opposite direction please see Image
