caption_attribution_description: English: The title of this Chromolithograph is "Metropolitan Railway, Bellmouth Praed Street", and shows a GWR broad gauge train at Praed Street junction near Paddington station looking towards Edgware Road. The first services on the Metropolitan Railway 1863 were provided by the GWR.
context_page_description: Edgware Road is a London Underground station on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines, located on the corner of Chapel Street and Cabbell Street, within Travelcard zone 1. A separate station of the same name but served by the Bakerloo line is located about 150 metres away on the opposite side of Marylebone Road.
  There have been proposals in the past to rename one of the Edgware Road stations to avoid confusion. Neither of them should be confused with the Edgware station on the Northern line.
context_section_description: This station was part of the world's first underground railway when it was opened as part of the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon on 10 January 1863.
  It was the site of one of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Mohammad Sidique Khan detonated a bomb at about 8:50am, on board a westbound Circle line train as it was leaving the station, killing six passengers.
