Bow Road
Bow Road, opened by the Whitechapel & Bow Railway on 2nd June 1902, looking west on 8th July 2021. This station is at the foot of the steep incline down from the surface sections of the line and is partly in the open and partly in tunnel. The platforms can be seen curving round as they go into the tunnel beneath Bow Road and its continuation Mile End Road too to Whitechapel, where they briefly surface again. The tracks are shared between District and Hammersmith & City Lines trains but this is NOT a tube line as it was built on the cut-and-cover method and runs just below the surface among the mains and drains.
