Mainline South
Underground: Metropolitan Line
1st March 2004

The Metropolitan currently operates with a fleet of A60 and A62 stock built by Cravens of Sheffield.

Branches from London reach out to Uxbridge, Amersham, Chesham and Watford. Running from Harrow on the Hill is shared with Chiltern's service to Aylesbury, a throwback to when the Great Central and the Metropolitan shared tracks.

The ride to Amersham is unusual in that you pass through rural Buckinghamshire countryside in an LUL operated train, far removed from the deep tubes through Central London.

Replacement for the A60s is likely to be during 2010, after nearly 50 years of reliable [if bouncy] servce.
