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.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
