Ruislip Manor (London Underground)
Ruislip Manor is an above-ground London Underground station in the London Borough of Hillingdon . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 6 on Victoria Road. Served by the Metropolitan Line and the Piccadilly Line , the station was used by 1.77 million passengers in 2013.
The route of the Metropolitan Railway (predecessor company of the Metropolitan Line) between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge existed since July 4, 1904 and was electrified six months later. From March 1, 1910, trains of the Metropolitan District Railway (today's District Line ) also passed through here without stopping. Due to the low density of buildings at the time, the Ruislip Manor station was only built later and opened on August 5, 1912. Trains of the Piccadilly Line replaced those of the District Line on October 23, 1933.
Until the early 1930s, Ruislip Manor was a rather insignificant station, with trains only stopping on request. But then the surrounding area experienced a building boom and many new houses were built. In 1931 only 17,000 passengers used the station, in 1937 it was already 1.25 million. For this reason, the system had to be completely rebuilt. The new station opened on June 26, 1938.
