Travel Amenities

Travel Amenities.

Underground stations are scattered everywhere throughout the city and suburbs, with the “Inner Circle” route of the Metropolitan and Metropolitan District Railways enclosing the busiest portion of the metropolis. Many noteworthy passenger travel amenities have been developed by these speedy underground electric lines, and recently a feature has been made of the installation of roomy garages at the outer termini of the underground routes, which enable the suburban resident to drive to the station in his own car, park his vehicle in the garage, and proceed speedily by railway to the city. At Morden, the terminus of the newly-opened extension of the City and South London line from Clapham Common, there has been provided for the convenience of passengers a garage accommodating no fewer than 200 motor cars and cycles, with lock-up cubicles, petrol pumps and a fully equipped motor repair shop. A more striking example of co-ordination between rail and road transport could scarcely be imagined.
