Description
This upload shows the only tube railway that British Rail had, the Waterloo & City line from Waterloo to Bank. We see the Southern Railway 1940 built stock (given class number 487 by BR) at Bank and then Waterloo. When privitisation of British Rail came along the line was transfered to London Underground. By then the SR stock had been replaced by a follow on order for LUL 92 Stock which BR had as class 482. The line became an off-shoot of the Central Line, being worked by out-based Leytonstone crews.
