The original Metropolitan Railway terminated at Bishop's Road, Paddington, adjacent to the Great Western Railway terminus, but in June 1864 the line was extended to Hammersmith to accommodate the broad gauge trains operated by the Great Western Railway in the 19th century.
At the eastern end, a service opened beyond Liverpool Street to Whitechapel in October 1884 at the same time as the completion of the Circle.
Trains have run on from Whitechapel to Barking over District line tracks since 1936.
The Hammersmith & City line between Hammersmith and Whitechapel is 14.5 km in length and serves 19 stations.
The equivalent statistics for the extended service through to Barking - which runs until 21 00 Mondays to Fridays and until 20 30 on Saturdays - are 26.5 kmand serves 28 stations.
