History about baker Street and Waterloo London underground

The line was so named because it serves Baker Street and Waterloo. North of Queen’s Park (the section above ground), the line shares tracks with the London Overground Watford DC Line and runs parallel to the West Coast Main Line. There are, however, tunnels on either side of Kensal Green.

Opened between 1906 and 1915, many of its stations retain elements of their design to a common standard, the stations below ground using Art Nouveau decorative tiling by Leslie Green and the above-ground stations built in red brick with stone detailing in an Arts & Crafts style. It is the ninth busiest line on the network, carrying over 111 million passengers annually.

      1. Practice makes perfect. Mart mentioned yesterday that he was unclear why the metro train drivers allows sound their horns on express services i.e., at Monkseaton. It happens when they approach a platform are not stopping to pick up passengers. I thought this was normal to do? However, he said not all drivers do this?
