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 man of business ... goes on Sunday to the church with the regularity of the village blacksmith, there to renounce and abjure before his God the line of conduct which he intends to pursue with all his might during the following week.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
