#OnThisDay 51 years ago both the Piccadilly Line 1973 Stock was introduced, and the line was extended to Hatton Cross, known for its BOAC 'Speedbird' mosaics. Here’s a drivers eye view arriving at Hatton Cross westbound, wait ‘til the end for a surprise (clue: it’s not a ‘73!)
[Anniversaire 🎂] Le métro parisien fête ses 126 ans ! La #ligne1 est inaugurée le 19 juillet 1900 avec la mise en service du premier tronçon entre Porte de Vincennes et Porte Maillot.

Under Over Over
Despite its name, the London Underground isn't always underground. This was taken at West Hampstead, where Underground trains pass above the London Overground.
I've made it a mission to find every spot in London where this topsy-turvy railway quirk happens.
🚇 La ampliación de la línea 11 de @metro_madrid iba a servir para conectar a los barrios del Este de Madrid con la estación de Chamartín y su hospital de referencia (Ramón y Cajal). En su lugar, la nueva versión les llevará al circuito de la F1 y al almacén del Zendal.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Design vintage, intérieur à dominante vert jade, ouverture manuelle des portes : depuis 1974, le #MP73 était le métro emblématique de la #ligne6.
Dernier matériel sur pneu d'ancienne génération, il effectue aujourd'hui son voyage d'adieu après 52 ans de service. Bonne retraite !
#OnThisDay 15 years ago at 17:43 the last Victoria Line 1967 Stock departed Brixton for Seven Sisters, seen here arriving at Stockwell. Completely revolutionary when introduced; automatic one-person operation and rheostatic (dynamic) braking. bowroaduk https://t.co/6yZ8xaXIA5
Hammersmith Bridge is going to be preserved as a brilliant Active Travel bridge.
LBHF will not seek funding from the government for full restoration to motor vehicles
Nobody will ever drive a car on it again 😊
It’s over 🎉
Feeling incredibly validated by the London Standard's ranking of the temperature on the Tube lines.
For the Americans, that means the Central line is 103F degrees!

Se prometió un árbol por vivienda en Nuevo Roces y hay menos que cuando se empezó a construir.
Esto es la avenida principal del barrio "moderno y verde". Aceras anchisimas y ni un sólo árbol. Hormigón, hormigón y hormigón.
Las 10 de la noche… los largos días de verano que se aprovechan a tope si tenemos días como hoy.
La gente sigue en la playa, algunos incluso en el agua que está espectacular.

We're four days on from the incident. Seven carriages have been safely lifted, two remaining. Once all are removed, we'll move to a full track renewal - to reopen the line as quickly and safely as possible.
Mark Budden, East Midlands route director, provides an update.
How very British 😂
“The train carrying Andy Burnham arriving into Euston now. It's about 19 minutes late, so that technically would allow Mr Burnham to do Delay Repay.”

#OnThisDay 119 years ago, the Charing Cross Euston & Hampstead Railway, a.k.a. Hampstead Tube, opened between Charing Cross and Golders Green / Archway (originally 'Highgate' - pictured / Illustrated London News). This forms a significant chunk of the Northern Line today.
Nous sommes en 2026 après Jésus-Christ.
La canicule a conquis presque toute la Gaule...
Toute ? Non !
Un petit village d'irréductibles Gaulois résiste encore et toujours à l'envahisseur... 🔥
#OnThisDay 10 years ago the Class 700 Siemens Desiros were introduced into passenger service on the Thameslink Bedford to Brighton service. 700141 heads a down service having just passed Brockley, I took this for the London Railway Atlas 6th edition cover https://t.co/EreDoCrCrk
