The Bakerloo Line
The Bakerloo Line runs at both surface and low level and extends from Harrow & Wealdstone to the Elephant & Castle, covering a distance of 14.5 miles. It serves 25 stations and is the 7th busiest line on the Tube.
The Bakerloo name is a concatenation of the original "Baker Street & Waterloo Railway" and was officially adopted in 1906. It originally started out as the Waterloo and Whitehall Railway (1865) and then the Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric Railway (1882), both of which failed.
The line was extended several times during the 1900s.
