Now withdrawn LU C stock on a District Line service from Wimbledon to Edgware Road heading away from the camera as it departs from Earl's Court, on 9th August 2013. This station opened in 1878, replacing an earlier station of 1871, and since 1940 has been served exclusively by District Line trains but until then it was also served by LMS electric trains to and from Willesden Junction. Below are the deep-level Piccadilly Line platforms, opened in 1906. Note the arrow train indicator blind, once seen at stations all over the District Line system but now only seen here.
