		Beyond there, the line to Quainton Road remains as a goods route (and distances along it are still officially measured from Baker Street), but the two branches beyond this point have vanished, though the platforms at Verney Junction are still visible from goods trains using the route from Aylesbury to Bletchley.
		To serve these a separate Exhibition station was opened in 1923 on the east side just south of Wembley Park station, with non-stop trains to Baker Street; this remained until 1937, when it was replaced by an additional platform at the main station.
		Some years later, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway was looking to expand towards London, and at the same time the Metropolitan Railway had its eyes on the untapped commuter market of the northwest (the only rival, the LNWR, did not become interested in commuters until much later).
