At peak times, there are more than 543 trains whizzing around the capital.The tube lines are: Bakerloo, Central, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria, and Waterloo & City.

What is the least used tube station
Roding Valley
Roding Valley
Roding Valley is London's least used tube station. Roding Valley is found on the central line. Roding Valley transports around the same number of passengers in 1 year, that London Waterloo does in 1 day.
Which tube line is the deepest : Hampstead is the deepest station below the surface, at 58.5 metres (192 ft), as its surface building is near the top of a hill, and the Jubilee line platforms at Westminster are the deepest platforms below sea level at 32 metres (105 ft).
Building underground railways so close to the surface proved to be a very expensive exercise and it was realised that considerable costs would be saved if new tubes could be built at a deeper level, where they would involve much less disruption to existing buildings and services.
