Dist:0.3km<br/>The station dates from 1889 and was originally built by the Metropolitan Railway. It is in the centre of a Y-shaped arrangement of elevated railways. The railway on the east side of the Y is now disused, and District Line trains use the elevated route in the photograph which forms the western arm of the Y. The words 'East Putney' can just be picked out in relief at the top of the white buttress on the right. The van belongs to Tube Lines, yet another body with responsibility for running some part of the railway infrastructure, in this case providing maintenance services for trains and infrastructure on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines...

Dist:0.3km<br/>The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1889 on an extension from Putney Bridge station to Wimbledon. The District Line tracks are out of the picture to the left. The tracks here are used by empty stock trains or occasional diversions by Southwest Trains when the line between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction needs to be avoided. The disused platform on the right hand side of the photograph was last used by stopping passenger trains in 1941.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The tunnel takes the line under West Hill, so that trains emerge not far from East Putney station. The line was constructed by the London & South Western Railway in the 1880's, but has for most of its existence been operated as part of the London Underground system. For the view along the line in the opposite direction see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2584416

Dist:0.4km<br/>The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1889 on an extension from Putney Bridge station to Wimbledon. District Line trains now run along the two left hand tracks. The right hand tracks are used by empty stock trains or occasional diversions by Southwest Trains when the line between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction needs to be avoided. The disused platform on the right hand side of the photograph was last used by stopping passenger trains in 1941.
