Ravenscourt Park follows the alignment built in 1911; this was closed 1916 before being re-used when

the Piccadilly line was extended in 1932.[78] District line: The line between East Putney and Wimbledon was built by the LSWR in 1889. The last regular main-line service ran in 1941[78] but it still sees a few Waterloo services at the start and end of the daily timetable.[80] Hammersmith & City: Between Paddington and Westbourne Park tube station, the line is parallel to the main line. The Great Western main line opened in 1836, serving a temporary terminus the other side of Bishop's Road and when the current Paddington station opened in 1854, the line passed to the south of the old station.[78] On opening in 1864 the Hammersmith & City ran via the main line to a junction at Westbourne Park, until 1867 when two tracks opened to the south of the main line, with a crossing near Westbourne Bridge, Paddington. The current two tracks to the north of the main line and the subway east of Westbourne Park opened in 1878.[81]. The H & C route is now completely segregated from the main line. Jubilee line: Between Canning Town and Stratford was built the GER in 1846 with passenger services starting in 1847. The original alignment was quadrupled "in stages between 1860 and 1892" for freight services before being lifted as traffic declined during the 20th century and relaid for Jubilee line services that started in 1999. The current Docklands Light Railway (exNorth London Line) uses the original eastern alignment and the Jubilee uses the western alignment.[78] Northern line: The line from East Finchley to Mill Hill East was opened in 1867, and from Finchley Central to High Barnet in 1872, both by the Great Northern Railway.[78] Piccadilly line: westbound track between east of Ravenscourt Park and Turnham Green built by LSWR in 1869, originally used for eastbound main-line and District services, eastbound track built in 1911 and closed 1916 and re-used when the Piccadilly line was extended in 1932.[78]
