Ongar tube station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has two principal claims to fame: Firstly, John Betjeman, the Poet Laureate, expressed a desire to be Ongar Station Master upon his retirement. The station and the line is now in the ownership of a private company who, at time of purchase, publically stated their intentions to run commuter services once again. The current owners are the Epping Ongar Railway, a heritage railway company who run heritage trains on Sundays over the former Epping and Ongar line. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ongar_tube_station   (275 words)

Bethnal Green tube station Encyclopedia The station was extensively modified between 1985 and 1992, including bringing all the platforms in the main shed up to the same end point and constructing a new underground booking office, but its facade, steam age iron pillars and the honour roll for Great Eastern Railway employees that died in the Great War were retained. City of London The construction of the station was due to the desire of the company to gain a terminal closer to the city than the one opened by the predecessor Eastern Counties Railway, at Shoreditch, that had opened on 1 July 1840. The station was named after the street on which it stands, which in turn was named in honour of British Prime Minister Lord Liverpool, having been built as part of an extension of the City of London towards the end of his term in office. canada.en.ogarnij.info /en/Bethnal+Green+tube+station   (9964 words)

Loughton has had three stations - the first was opened in 1856 but when the line extended to Ongar in 1865 it started just short of the old terminus with a new Loughton station.

Epping to Ongar railway line and stations at Blake Hall and North Weald, The Eastern Counties Railway and Great Eastern Railway, Essex, England The remote station earned a small amount of notoriety during the red hot summer of 1976, when the Evening Standard reported that a tube driver, operating the train with the side door open, was attacked by a mad rabbit, which entered the cab at Blake Hall. One of the odd things about travelling to Ongar was that my journey started from one of the busiest stations on the Underground system, with noisy tunnels eventually giving way to country views on the way to Epping.

Underground Facts Heathrow Terminal 4 station is unique in being the only tube station with a single platform edge, but the title is probably truly jointly owned by Chesham, one of the Northern outposts of the Metropolitan and Mill Hill East on the Northern. Such was the success of this form of vertical transport that all new tube stations since the early 20th century were equipped with them. The longest distance between adjacent stations is on the Metropolitan Line; Chesham being nearly 4 miles from its junction with the mainline at Chalfont and Latimer. www.londonrailways.net /facts.htm   (940 words)

SkyscraperCity Forums - London Underground Infact apart from the last couple of photos they are all of the older tube lines and stations with the Northern line being the deepest and most need of upgrading of all the tube lines, the pictures therefore mainly reflect the worst of the tube rather than the best. Considering the age of the infrastructure I think that Tube stations and trains are very clean, bright and welcoming and very well-staffed. The tube is certainly old and has been neglected, but finally proper investment is going in and within 7 years the network will be signifcantly more reliable. www.skyscrapercity.com /printthread.php?t=165024&pp=25   (3010 words)
