Listen "011 - Finchley Road"
Episode Synopsis
Built on an extension of the world's second underground railway (the Metropolitan and St John's Wood Railway), Finchley Road has been at the centre of a struggle for track capacity that has seen it served by the Metropolitan, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines. There was even a little-known 1920s plan to for a deep-level Metropolitan line bypass the station altogether!
In this episode we'll also look at Swiss Cottage, Marlborough Road and Lords, the three Metropolitan line stations between Finchley Road and Baker Street which closed in 1939 and 1949.
