Hi - first post.
I'm trying to ascertain what happened on the Inner Circle with regard to MetR. and DistR. trains in the 1890s/1900s up to electrification.
I've seen a comment elsewhere which states that the DistR. used the inner/anti-clockwise rails from completion of the IC in 1884.
This suggests that the DistR. traversed the entire IC in one direction, and the MetR. in the other, but is that interpretation of the statement correct? I'm dubious of it as photographs taken c1900 suggest MetR. trains were running in both directions on the northern half, certainly by c1900.
If not, to which section of the IC did this apply, and between which dates?
Thanks.
