THE FABRIC
This design was first seen on the Metropolitan line in 1960. The black vertical and red horizontal lines of varying thicknesses against a grey background were also found on the Victoria, Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines.
THE LINE
The first section of the Metropolitan Railway opened in 1863 between Paddington and Farringdon. By 1876, this line had reached Mansion House. The westerly section from Paddington to South Kensington was completed in stages by 1868. A northwestern extension out of London through St John's Wood to Harrow and Aylesbury was completed by 1892. In 1904, the Harrow to Uxbridge line opened. In 1905, electric trains replaced steam on the Baker Street to Uxbridge section. In 1933, the Metropolitan Railway was taken over by the London Passenger Transport Board (L.P.T.B).
