The name 'Metropolitan Line' was one of several adopted in early July 1933 by the newly formed London Passenger Transport Board. At that time line names tended to reflect historical ownership, so it is no surprise to find the name 'Metropolitan Line' representing the bulk of the services hitherto operated by the newly-defunct Metropolitan Railway.
A history of the Metropolitan Line
These brief histories of each Underground line are written by the leading authorities on the history of the system. Each uses photographs, some in colour, from the London Transport Museum archive collection.
