Central line
"Paul Corfield" wrote wrote: "MIG" wrote wrote: The Central Line is a line of the London Underground and coloured red on the tube map. It is the second busiest line on the Underground after the Northern with 183,512,000 passengers per annum. It is a deep-level "tube" line, running east-west across London, and has the greatest total length of track on the Underground (but is not the longest continuous line) Just read the above on Wikipedia....what is the longest continuous line it is referring to? It's a strange imprecise term to use. In fact, the whole thing is really, because "lines" are not really all that separate. It also seems to be the wrong way round. The Central Line is longest end to end (Epping to West Ruislip), but I would have thought other lines had more track mileage. It seems to imply there is another line "(but is not the longest continuous line)" The only other concept of "continuous" anything on the Underground that I am aware of is the longest continuous section of travel in tunnel. That is on the Northern Line from the portal at East Finchley via the Bank Branch to the southern portal just at Morden station. I can't think of any other relevant comparison but if people will use imprecise terminology for something as complex as the LU network! Cockfosters to Cockfosters via Heathrow? |
