Hammersmith & City Line

 

 

Hsmith & City

The Hammersmith & City line is a subsurface London Underground line. It connects Hammersmith in the west with Barking in the east, running through the northern part of central London. It is coloured salmon pink on the Tube map. It was formerly part of the Metropolitan line and incorporates the oldest underground railway in the world, the section between Paddington and Farringdon, which opened on 10 January 1863. The original Hammersmith & City line opened on 13 June 1864, although Hammersmith station itself moved to a different location in 1868. With the exception of the two-stop Waterloo & City line and the East London Line (which is now a London Overground service), it has been the least used line on the Underground. It ranks 10th of the 11 lines in passenger numbers. Out of the 29 stations served, 10 have Hammersmith & City line platforms that are wholly or almost wholly below ground, all in cut-and-cover, while those at Paddington, Edgware Road, Farringdon, Barbican and Whitechapel are in cuttings, or under train-sheds but below street level. Since December 2009 the route between Hammersmith and Edgware Road has been supplemented by the Circle line. With this change, the Hammersmith & City line no longer has any stations unique to it.
