	The Story of the G.W.R.
		The Metropolitan Railway, which in 1854 was incorporated to construct a sub-surface line from Paddington Suburban to Farringdon Street, had a useful ally in the Great Western.
		These pioneer trains were composed of crude, coach-like vehicles for first and second class passengers, while the unfortunate "thirds" had to content themselves with an open truck and a few cross planks for seats.
		They were assured that, if a superior class of carriage were provided for the chaise folk and the "insides," with a less comfortable class for those normally content to travel outside a coach, anybody desirous of cheaper seats should have to share the unprotected conditions which the driver and fireman had for long to endure.

		The GWR laid a new line from Old Oak (just outside its own Paddington terminus) North westwards towards Northolt, where it connected with a new branch of the GCR which left the existing their existing line at Neasden.
