Farringdon

Now withdrawn LUL C stock, on a clockwise Circle Line service, arriving at Farringdon station on a scorching hot 13th July 2013. This station was the original terminus of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first Underground line, opened on 10th January 1863 as Farringdon Street and renamed Farringdon & High Holborn in 1923 before becoming simply Farringdon in 1936. The station is actually in the district of Clerkenwell and there have been many suggestions over the years that it should be renamed so, but so far to no avail.
