The track was removed soon after through services to Liverpool Street ceased in 1966. Source: "East London Line" by Vic Mitchell and Keith Smith. I can remember the track being used by through freight in "F" stock days. Was freight ever carried on the London Underground, even if it was in off hours? To add the comments of others, I clearly remember seeing occasional freights passing through Earl's Court on my way home from school in the late 50s/early 60s. Presumably return movements from High St Ken. I have to confess I only ever saw them on the ELL and on the Met main line. It must have been quite a sight to see a freight trundle through Earl's Court. A bit of a shock the first time. After that it was just amusing. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
