Metropolitan Railway H Class

The Metropolitan Railway H Class consisted of eight 4-4-4T steam locomotives, numbered 103 to 110. They were built by Kerr Stuart in 1920.

The H Class were intended for the Express passenger trains Metropolitan mainline from Harrow (later Rickmansworth), where they swapped with the electric locomotives, to Aylesbury or Verney Junction. They were considered to be good engines well suited to the express trains they worked.

When the steam hauled services were handed to the LNER in 1937 when all eight H CLass locomotives were transferred to the LNER to continue on the same trains. The LNER classifiered them as H2 Class.

In the 1940s they were moved away from Neasden (LNER) shed to the Nottingham area and worked over other parts of the former Great Central Railway System.

All were withdrawn and scrapped between 1942 and 1947.
