Background
History
A proposed 1908 extension of the Bakerloo Line had envisaged a stop at nearby Abercorn Place but this route was rejected. Maida Vale opened on 6 June 1915 on Bakerloo tube's extension from Paddington to Queen's Park five months after the extension. At the time, it was the first station to be entirely staffed by women. The women continued to work at the Maida Vale station until 1919 when servicemen returning from the war displaced them. The outbreak of World War II again opened up jobs for women. On 6 June 2015, the station celebrated its 100th anniversary as part of the 100 years of women in transport campaign.
