York Road tube stationbr br Source:br br Music : Orange, Topher Mohr and Alex Elena, YouTube Audio Librarybr br The London Underground is a public rapid transit system in the United Kingdom that serves a large part of Greater London and the home counties of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It has many former stations, while others were planned but not opened. Some stations were closed because of low passenger usage rendering them uneconomical; some became redundant after lines were re-routed or replacements were constructed; and others are no longer served by the Underground but remain open to National Rail mainline services. Many stations were planned as parts of new lines or extensions to existing ones but were later abandoned.br br Some closed station buildings are still standing, converted for other uses or abandoned, while others have been demolished and their sites redeveloped. A number of stations, while still open, have closed platforms or sections, such as the Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross. The interiors and platforms of a few closed stations are among parts of the London Underground available for filming purposes, such as those at Aldwych.br br Closed when the current station was opened a short distance to the east to enable the Aldgate junction to be rebuilt Terminus of Piccadilly line branch line from Holborn; closed due to low passenger numbers and cost of replacing lifts The service was cut back to Amersham when electric locomotive-hauled trains were replaced with A60 Stock trains.
