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 modern picture of The Artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn’t see, to be high, live low, stay young forever—in short, to be the bohemian.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
