Talk:Metropolitan line
What is this supposed to be? I see only headings -- where is the beef? --mav
See talk:Central Line. Looks like Fonzy is just puting in the headers to begin with. Fonzy, I really htink the East Lonodn line needs its own page. -- Tarquin
- Agreed. It's now the ELL and it's both confusing and inaccurate to disclose it by any other name. -- Nairobiny
Look. On this kind of book where i am getting the info from. The line is cloured purple because it was part of the metropolitain line. You can defently nto argyue about thsi with the central line. As The central line was built as a service! RUNNING ON THE METROPOLITAIN and district railways tracks. So in a sence teh east london line is a service. - fonzy
- Chill! The ELon line is a seperate line since the 1980s and a distinc colour to boot. Its history should be mentioned, but on a page to itself. -- Tarquin
OK how about both?
i think it should go in here for now. - fonzy
I am worried about all these branches do you want me to draw a you a diagram to show you the problem? - fonzy
ITS NOT IDF YOU INCLUDE ALL THE OLD STATIONS ETC. - FONZY
Nah, the Met is easy. It's:
- Aldgate (peak hours only)
- Baker Street (usual terminus)
- Harrow on the hill
- One branch to Uxbridge
- rest through to Moor Park
- branch to watford
- Chalfont & Latimer
- Chesham
- terminus at Amersham
no! look i am doing a diagram. ok?
pink old branches. purple still existing lines. grey that part or line was used for the jubilee line service. - fonzy
- what's the little pink bit near Euston Square? Also, the grey bit went to Bakerloo before it went to Jubilee. -- Tarquin
your right about baekrloo thingy. the little pink bit was the end of the line. fARRINGDON STREET they then extended the line off the track further down. so it became a brancnh in a sence. then it closed when the replacement opened on the new line. :-s did that make secne.
- Ah. Yup, I know what you mean. That piece of track is used by Thameslink now, right? -- Tarquin
ermm no. Well maybe thames link does use it maybe i will reowrd it. The station was known as Farringdon street. they decided to extended the line. they coudl not extended it from taht sattion so they extended the track furthurt down the line. Once it was finished they closed farringdon ste=reet and opened the sattion replacement on the new line. :_s
District was a rival company but AFAIK there came a point where their tracks joined and services intermingled. Circle Line may be just a "service" but on the map and to the average passenger it's a line. -- Tarquin
Well the pint about the circel line is that it has no tracks of its own. it just used the companies tracks. and it stopped at the cdomapny sations. - fonzy
But i am more worried about how to make this thing not look a mess.
