Middle Circle

[2] A station had been built on the chord linking the H&CR and West London Railway, but this never opened due to GWR objections.

[a][7][1] When the Metropolitan extended the north side of its railway eastward from Moorgate, the Middle Circle followed suit and Bishopsgate (now Liverpool Street) became the terminus on 12 July 1875 and then Aldgate took the role from 4 December 1876.

[10] Passenger services on the West London Railway were ended on 19 October 1940 following bomb damage to the line, and the link between Latimer Road and the WLR closed.

[citation needed] With the exception of the Uxbridge Road, today the stations are served by the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines.

Uxbridge Road station closed with the line in 1940[11] and Shepherd's Bush opened on the same site in 2008.
