The Metropolitan District Railway, also known as the District Railway, was a passenger railway that served London from 1868 to 1933. Established in 1864 to complete an "inner circle" of lines connecting railway termini in London, the first part of the line opened using gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives. The Metropolitan Railway operated all services until the District Railway introduced its own trains in 1871. The railway was soon extended westwards through Earl's Court to Fulham, Richmond, Ealing and Hounslow. After completing the inner circle and reaching Whitechapel in 1884, it was extended to Upminster in Essex in 1902.

  • Metropolitan District Railway (District) va ser una companyia de ferrocarril que es va constituir el 29 de juliol de 1864, un any més tard que Metropolitan Railway (MetR) obrís la primera línia del metro de Londres i del món. Ambdues empreses juntament van crear l'Inner Circle, ara conegut com a Circle Line, i ambdós van començar a crear el que avui coneixem com a metro de Londres. (ca)

  • Le Metropolitan District Railway (communément appelé le District Railway) était un chemin de fer à passagers qui desservait Londres de 1868 à 1933. Fondée en 1864 pour terminer le inner circle, un chemin de fer souterrain à Londres, la première partie de la ligne a été ouverte en utilisant le transport en bois allumé à gaz transporté par les locomotives à vapeur. Le Metropolitan Railway exploitait tous les services jusqu'à ce que District instaure ses propres trains en 1871. Le chemin de fer fut bientôt étendu à l'ouest, par Earl's Court pour Fulham, Richmond, Ealing et Hounslow. Après avoir terminé le cercle intérieur et atteint Whitechapel en 1884, il fut étendu à Upminster dans l’Essex en 1902. (fr)
  • メトロポリタン・ディストリクト鉄道(メトロポリタン・ディストリクトてつどう、Metropolitan District Railway)、通称ディストリクト鉄道は、1868年から1933年までロンドンで運行されていた旅客鉄道である。ロンドンの地下鉄であるインナー・サークル(サークル線)を完成させる目的で1864年に設立され、最初の区間はガス灯で照明された木造客車を蒸気機関車が牽引する形で開通した。ディストリクト鉄道では、1871年に自社で列車を運行するようになるまで、メトロポリタン鉄道が全列車の運行を担当していた。まもなく、アールズコートからフラム、リッチモンド、イーリング、ハウンズローへと西側へ延長された。インナー・サークルが完成しホワイトチャペルまで1884年に到達した後、ロンドン東部のアップミンスターまで1902年に延長された。 20世紀初頭に電化の費用を調達するために、アメリカの資本家チャールズ・ヤーキスが買収して、彼の傘下のロンドン地下電気鉄道の一部となった。1905年に電化され、その年末からすべての列車が電車で運行されるようになった。1933年7月1日に、ディストリクト鉄道とその他のロンドン地下電気鉄道の各社はメトロポリタン鉄道および各路面電車・バス運営会社などと合併してロンドン旅客運輸公社となった。 (ja)

Fundada em 1864 para completar o inner circle, uma ferrovia subterrânea em Londres, a primeira parte da linha foi aberta usando carruagens de madeira iluminadas a gás, transportadas por locomotivas a vapor. A Metropolitan Railway operava todos os serviços até que a District introduziu seus próprios trens em 1871. A ferrovia foi logo estendida para o oeste, através de Earl's Court para Fulham, Richmond, Ealing e Hounslow. Depois de completar o inner circle e alcançar Whitechapel em 1884, foi estendida para Upminster em Essex em 1902. (pt)
