Vauxhall, first stop out of Waterloo, looking north towards the terminus on the afternoon of Saturday, 19th November 2022. This station opened on 11th July 1848 with the extension from Nine Elms to Waterloo, the date on which Nine Elms became a motive power depot. That closed in 1967 and was demolished and the New Covent Garden Market transported to the site. 123 years after Vauxhall's opening it became an interchange with the LU Victoria Line, which opened with the Brixton extension on 23rd July 1971. And 143 years after Nine Elms closed to passengers, the name re-appeared on London's railway map when a new LU station of that name was opened on the Northern Line's Battersea Power Station branch from Kennington, on 20th September 2021.
