SideTracked started at Evesham station on August 10th 2007,
placed
by schnarff & bikermel76. It took a while to get started,
but
is now spreading across the country! Putney Bridge Station is
a
busy station and so stealth is required at all times.
The station was opened on 1 March 1880 as Putney Bridge &
Fulham when the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, now the
District Line) extended its line south from West Brompton. The
station served as the terminus of the line until 1889 when the MDR
built Fulham Railway Bridge across the River Thames and extended
the line south to the London & South Western Railway's
(L&SWR's) newly built East Putney station where it connected to
the L&SWR's new line to Wimbledon. Services from the station to
Wimbledon began on 3 June 1889. The station has an ornate yellow
brick façade at the entrance.
On 1 January 1902, the station was renamed Putney Bridge &
Hurlingham referring to its proximity to Hurlingham Park and the
Hurlingham Club. It received its current name in 1932. Despite
taking its name from Putney Bridge, the tube station is in fact on
the Fulham side of the Thames and is not actually located in
Putney.
