Tube Lines

Tube Lines

The tube lines define London Underground. The long escalators and elevator rides to get to the platforms, the round roof stations and the squat rolling stock. All the newer lines in London are deep tube lines. London Clay make for great tunneling for these lines. Each line runs on its own set of tracks, with some branches. 

The Piccadilly Line connects Heathrow airport with the city. The Piccadilly as well as the Jubilee lines offer cross platform transfers to the surface lines. This makes for quite a site at these stations. The tube stock you must step down into the cars, the surface lines you must do a slight step up. I am missing photos of the Northern Line only.
