The railway line at Eastcote Tube Station dates to 1904, when it was constructed by the Metropolitan Railway, the precursor of today's Metropolitan Line. Originally using steam trains, the track underwent electrification in 1905, and then in 1906, the station opened, originally known as Eastcote Tube Station Halt.
In 1910, the District Line also began serving Eastcote Tube Station. It was replaced by the Piccadilly Line in 1933. Also in 1933, the present Eastcote Tube Station was built to replace the original one, which is now known as the Old Eastcote Tube Station Station, still standing some distance away.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
