Waterloo & City Line

 

 

Waterloo & City

The Waterloo & City line is a short underground railway line in London, which was formally opened on 11 July 1898. It has only two stations, Waterloo and Bank (formerly called “City”, as it is within the City of London). Between its stations, the line passes under the River Thames. It exists almost exclusively to serve commuters between Waterloo mainline station and the City of London, and does not operate late in the evening or on Sundays (the only time the line has operated on Sundays was between 1943 and 1947). By far the shortest line on the London Underground at 2.37 km (1.47 miles), it takes only four minutes to travel from end to end. It was the second electric tube railway to open in London, after the City and South London Railway (now part of the Northern line). Despite its age, it is also the most recent line to be added to the London Underground network—being transferred from British Rail ownership in 1994.
