caption_attribution_description: English: Gunnersbury Station, with District Line train for Richmond. View NW, towards Acton Central, Willesden and the North London Line - now London Overground (branching left) and Hammersmith, Victoria etc. and Upminster by LPTB District Line (branching to the right) - whence the train has come. To the left the line goes over the River Thames to Kew Gardens and Richmond. The station was badly damaged by a tornado in 1954 and in 1955 still had a temporary roof.
context_page_description: The London Underground Q Stock were trains used on the District line of the London Underground. First introduced in 1938, these electric multiple units were formed from cars built between 1923 and 1935 and new purpose-built cars, and fitted with electro-pneumatic brakes and guard controlled air-operated doors. Trains were made up from cars of different ages with differing appearances, the older ones with clerestory roofs and the newer ones with flared sides. Some units were withdrawn in the early 1960s, although six- and eight-car trains remained on the District line with use gradually diminishing to peak hours only, and four car units worked the East London line until 1971.
