Default Daily Telegraph: 150 fascinating Tube facts

In message , at 23:12:30 on Thu, 10
Jan 2013, Clive D. W. Feather remarked:

21. The station with the most platforms is Baker Street with 10 (Moorgate
also has 10 platforms but only six are used by Tube trains - others are
used by overground trains).


How about Waterloo, with 26?


They mean "station managed by LU, with the most platforms".

70. The first section of the Underground ran between Paddington (Bishop's
Road) and Farringdon Street. The same section now forms part of the Circle,
Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines.


Not the Met.


According to TfL:

"The Metropolitan line runs from Aldgate to Amersham, with branches to
Chesham, Uxbridge and Watford covering 66.7km (41.5 miles)."

Or are you being pedantic about the Baker St-Paddington bit?
