From Wikipedia In 1933 the Metropolitan Railway was nationalised by the London Passenger Transport Board, becoming the Metropolitan line of the London Underground.Well the wording is wrong isn't it! The nationalisation would've been by the government, and the LPTB formed by the government to control multiple nationalised bus, tram and railway companies. |

References are all!
Christian Barman's book "The Man Who Built London Transport" states that the LPTB was established under the London Passenger Transport Act of 1933.It included the Met.
This is the drawback of Wikipedia....the advantage is that YOU can fix it...but references make all the difference.

Leave it to Wikipedia. Their Met line article claims that Uxbridge, Watford, and Amersham get a fair balance of slow, semifast, and fast services in the peaks. In reality during the peaks doesn't Uxbridge get all the slows, Watford all the semis, and Amersham/Chesham all the fasts?
