In June 1935, the LPTB announced the New Works Programme, an ambitious plan to expand the Underground network which included the integration of a complex of existing London and North Eastern Railway ( LNER ) lines north of Highgate through the Northern Heights.

On 1 January 1923, the GCR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway ( LNER ) as part of the Railways Act 1921, and on 1 July 1933, the Met became part of the London Passenger Transport Board ( LPTB ), thus becoming the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground.

Frank Pick, Managing Director of the Underground Group from 1928 and the Chief Executive of the LPTB, aimed to move the network away from freight services, and to concentrate on the electrification and improvement of the core routes in London.
