A photo entitled "Motor smash at Chiswick". The number 344 on the left suggests Chiswick High Road, the later site of Carluccio’s. Based on the GR’ decorations on the right, just above the wall the car has demolished, the year could be the coronation year of 1911.

It was also known as “the kettle run” since the crew could set off from Acton Town, travel the short distance to South Acton and back and the tea making started at Acton Town would be finished upon their return. It was the first example of One Person Operation on the Underground - the little trains had a driver but no guard. The justification was that there was only one car on the train.
