 Addison Road - Hammersmith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Approaching Hammersmith, the route took a 90 degree turn (the turn was where Hammersmith Grove Road station was situated) so that it ran west toward Richmond, parallel with King Street.
Although the District Line was proving very successful, it was clear that the LSWR (and the Metropolitan and GWR routes along it) was not, so the non-electrified line proved to have a short service life (until the arrival of the Piccadilly Line that is).
When the Piccadilly line was also extended westwards from Hammersmith (in 1932), two new extra tracks had to be built from Hammersmith station to the point at which the old LSWR tracks could be intercepted.

So the Hammersmith and City line train I was taking home this evening pulled into Edgeware Road station this evening, and sat there for a while.
Its said "Hammersmith", which I then realised wasn't a surprise as the service was up the spout in my favour tonight (strange as it may seem, sometimes the service goes wrong to my advantage rather than disadvantage.
But only rarely) - I'd just missed a Hammersmith train, the next one had come along in half the timetabled wait, and the very next train was also one.

 BBC - h2g2 - The Station by Station Guide to the London Underground - District Line: East of South Kensington
The District line is a relatively simple line whilst east of South Kensington station - it simply runs from Upminster in the east to South Kensington without branching or doing anything strange at all.
However, when it reaches Earl's Court, the line starts to act very strangely indeed, and the part of the line west of South Kensington station is therefore given its own section in this guide.
This was due to the building of what is now the Hammersmith and City line section which curves round from the Circle line after Liverpool Street to join the District Line to Upminster.
