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:
“In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
