Hammersmith to Whitechapel
Whitechapel to Ealing Broadway

This driver's eye view was made using an image intensifying camera, more accurately reflecting the image that the driver actually sees as he makes his way over the world's first ever underground railway.

Our journey begins aboard a "C" stock train at Hammersmith "Met" station. For the first few miles the line is elevated on brick arch viaducts. At Westbourne Park we "fly under" the Great Western main line into Paddington. Here we enter the tunnel section of the first passenger-carrying underground railway in the world - Paddington to Farringdon!

At Whitechapel, having traversed the northern part of the Circle Line, we transfer to a "D" stock District Line train for the return trip along the southern portion of the Circle. As the Circle branches off, we continue through Earls Court alongside the Piccadilly line tracks to eventually
end up at Ealing Broadway.
