End of the Line No.3 - Morden

You don't just walk into Morden - you take the tube there. It's End of the Line Episode 3, and we're down in Zone 4 in South London at the end of the Nothern Line.
But what is there? What's the station like? And can I tempt you to go make a trip yourself if you've never been …

When I was a guard on the central line, they were bringing the 92 stock trains in and all the remaining guards got sent to the northern line. I nominated to go to Golders Green because I lived in NW London, but the slags sent me to Morden. Since it wasn't my choice to go there, it was almost impossible to get there for the early turn. I made sure I was late for every early start even if I was going to be on time. Not a thing they could say and I didn't get booked late once. Anyway I only had to endure that place for 3 months till my full time driver position came up and I was outta there. Hope you're still awake after reading all that.

The Northern Line extension to Sutton through North Cheam would've been great and it makes sense.

I’m now 61 years old but when I visit the UK each Christmas my brother and I sit hunched over the tube and overground map and like eager teenagers we once again plan out our next trip. Last year it was the Elizabeth Line and the Battersea extension. We finally got to Morden a few years ago, it was a fun day out, and I was glad to tick it off my list.

I never knew that the Northern Line extension plan south to(ward) Sutton involved a separate route, for which LT had bought land. I'd always assumed there would be a chord to the Wimbledon-Sutton Line just behind the Northern Line depot. If you look at how close these two lines are, it seems odd there was never a connection, say, for construction or even stock movements.

[@DavidJCane]

There were two plans. The first plan in the 1920s when the City & South London Railway was planning to extend southwards from Clapham was to join-up with the planned Wimbledon & Sutton Railway with the District line running from Wimbledon to Sutton and the C&SLR continuing past the depot to join it near Morden South main line station. If that had happened you would have had tube and surface stock running next to each other to Sutton. The Southern Railway objected and the C&SLR agreed to go no further than Morden and the W&SR was built by the Southern Railway instead of the Underground. The second plan was at the end of WWII when all sorts of plans for extensions to the tube were proposed. Route 11 was an extension from Morden to North Cheam to compliment the duplication of the Northern line between Tooting Broadway and Kennington (Route 10).

[@keyaanmatin4804]

[@ianthomson9363]

Years ago when I was a surveyor/draughtsman, we needed copies of the drawings we drew by hand on polyester film to give to our clients. The office was in Wealdstone and the copying firm was in Morden, so we would get the bus to Edgware and then all the way to the other end at Morden. After an hour two we would collect the drawings & copies and return. It all took most of the day and most of the staff hated having to do the trip. I used to take a book with me and didn't mind it at all. I recently did Edgware to Morden and then to High Barnet, using the Charing Cross and City branches- you see very little daylight!

[@DavidJCane]

Geoff, you could have mentioned that the stations on the Morden extension were the first large commission from the Underground for Charles Holden who later designed 55 Broadway and the stations on the Piccadilly line extensions. Also, that before the tube arrived there was nothing in what is now Morden town centre except a few houses and fields. The original village of Morden was further south.

[@michaelocyoung]

I note the map is upside down in the opening titles - very apt

[@DaimlerSleeveValve]

I used to visit all the LUL depots (and most of their office buildings) in the late 90s, supporting the servers which ran their office functions. For some reason, Morden had fewer problems than most other depots. Maybe it was because they kept the server environment clean. Most interesting to reach was Northumberland Park, where you had to ride in the front carriage of particular trains. Often the driver would get you to ride in the cab so they could have a chat.

[@roderickmain9697]

In the early 90s I lived in Belmont just south of Sutton. It was speculated that if the underground could make it to Sutton, it would be relatively easy to take over the line down through Belmont to Epsom downs. It seemed like it would be faster to jump on the Northern line from there rather trains into London (which werent particularly frequent). It was also speculated that a tram link out from East Croyden via Carshalton to Sutton might be a thing. Neither have happened. The ticket office at Belmont closed shortly before (or after) I moved away and there was always some suspicion that BR might close the route.

[@BallGameLover]

Belmont was a very infrequent service when I lived there. Often raster to get the 80 or 280 to Sutton than wait for a train. As regards the tram, think the plan was always to link Sutton to Wimbledon leg of tramline via Rose Hill and Morden. The roads were specifically built wider with such a link in mind I believe.

[@techgamer3007]

I live near Belmont now do you remember what it was like in the early 90s?

[@BallGameLover]

@@techgamer3007 yes, single track, unmanned, very quiet.

[@BallGameLover]

Regarding the underground I thought the plan was to link up modena tube with Morden south station ( just nehind the depot) and then use that alignment to Sutton rather than a dedicated route. Would only have required a couple of short sections of track to join it.

[@roderickmain9697]

@@techgamer3007 From google maps the house I lived is pretty much the same. The ticket office was a fairly low building, flat roof, that you could walk through.

[@daveash9572]

My childhood next door neighbour had lived near that halfway point on your map since the house was built in the 30s. She always said that the plan was to extend the tube to North cheam, with a stop at "The Woodstock", the name given to the junction between London Road A24, Sutton Common Road, Tudor Drive and Stonecot Hill (A24), named after a pub which was a changeover location for buses going way back into history. My bet, they'd have called the station Stonecot Hill or Woodstock. The Woodstock pub was sadly closed a few years ago, and is now a small Asda. Rumours abound locally that the tunnels for the track were even dug and maintained, but I'm not sure I believe it, since the depot you showed is at surface level, and is bound to the south by the raised embankment of a different railway line and a station (overground) AND its near the top of a fairly big hill, so not sure where the supposed tunnels could be.

[@bedazzled621]

My dad was in the fire service during the war and said that a tunnel was extended from Morden to Epsom Downs in case of invasion, but was never finished as fortunately not needed. I would love to know if that was true. There are definitely tunnels still under the Downs.

[@davidlally592]

Excellent as usual! The fact that the good old northern line (i''m at oval myself) goes so deep into south london can cause us locals a problem.

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone acknowledging the provision for a station at North Cheam so kudos and 10/10 to you! You didn’t get to the provision made for another station at what used to be the Organ roundabout in Ewell, though, so perhaps I’ll hold back a point or two for that. The North Cheam line was never looping round to Sutton as far as I know, that was the District extension from Wimbledon. Rather, it was heading for Epsom, hence the Ewell stop. Related tale… I now work for TfL and in a recent document, I based a scenario on a fictitious Northern Line Surrey Extension needing to provide 36 tph through North Cheam station. The pseudo-alternate reality of it amused me even if it went over the heads of everyone else at work. 😀

Can't remember if you already covered it elsewhere, but the plans to extend beyond Morden were scuppered by Southern Railways, who claimed extending the line would damage their suburban services. Instead, Southern extended their services to compensate, which is the reason why those stations have a similar style (e.g. Surbiton and Wimbledon) of architecture to the Charles Holden Morden Extension stations.

Hi Geoff, would you consider doing an end of the line special for the Glasgow Subway. Maybe around the 1st of April?

[@alaintallier1956]

Brought back memories, lived and worked in a dodgy pub in Morden two decades ago. We used to call it Mordor when we were on the northern line heading down.

Never been to Morden but honestly do need to head down there one day to clear that section of the Northern Line, great video shame about the Weather

Honestly love the fact that this was shot on a rainy day. I love just watching b-roll of rainy UK. Always puts my mind at rest for some reason. Great vid. Morden looks beautiful.

I live here -- beautiful it is not! It's a basic, unpretentious residential area, with Morden Hall Park and Morden Park providing some nice green space (the former is prettier). However, with the Northern Line and the Thameslink service from nearby Morden South and South Merton stations, public transport connections are very good. The shops around the station and the office block built over the station entrance have a very tired look, but I believe there are plans to spruce it all up. Nice to learn about the potential station that never happened and is now Sainsbury's. Fair play to Geoff, though; he presents the area really well and with such an enthusiastic delivery.

Love your videos buddy! Great work! 👌

Used to go from Morden to Tooting bec to school in the 70s. Remember watching the world cup from Mexico in 1970 at the television shop next to the station on the way to school, always late..........🤠😎

[@richardcope6558]

Thankyou Geoff. Had some traffic problems and had to change plans. Then remembered where you said the end of lines where. So went from Morden to TCR. And had a wonderful day in London

Hi Geoff my just turned 7 year old is a massive fan of yours. He loves to travel all over the tube and train network. He will be happy that you have just done this journey as his nan lives at Clapham North and he frequently takes her to Morden 🤣
