The Bakerloo line (/ˌbeɪkərˈluː/) is a line of the London Underground, coloured brown on the Tube map. It runs partly on the surface and partly at deep level, from Elephant and Castle in inner south-east London to Harrow & Wealdstone in the north-western outer suburbs. The line serves 25 stations, of which 15 are underground. Its name comes from the fact that its route serves Baker Street and Waterloo. It is the ninth busiest line on the network with over 111 million passengers annually.
Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
