What sections are above street level?


Most of it.

From memory:

Bakerloo north of Queen's Park
Central west of White City and east of Stratford
Circle - none
District west of Earl's Court and east of Bow Road
East London south of Surrey Quays and around Whitechapel
Hammersmith & City west of Paddington and east of Bow Road
Jubilee north of Finchley Road and east of Canning Town
Metropolitan north-west of Finchley Road
Northern north of Golders Green, north of East Finchley and around
Morden
Piccadilly west of Baron's Court and north-east of (???)
Victoria - none
Waterloo & City - none.


You have listed the sections which are not in tunnel (forgetting that there
is an extra Bakerloo tunnel west of Kensal Green).

None of the underground runs along a street on stilts, like the "El" in New
York.

A small fraction of it is elevated, mostly where it crosses valleys. From
memory...

B - around Stonebridge Park
C - ?
D - ?
E - none
H - from near Hammersmith to Portobello Rd, not sure in East London.
J - Canons Park to Queensbury, around Kilburn.
M - around Kilburn, around West Harrow, around Ruislip Manor, around North
Harrow, at Pinner, at Northwood (unsure of north of Northwood)
N - around East Finchley, a very high viaduct near Mill Hill East, and south
of High Barnet.
O - none
P - around Oakwood Park, north of Arnos Grove, south of Arnos Grove, from
west of Hammersmith to west of Turnham Green, around Hounslow East/Central,
around Alperton, around South Harrow, and around Ruislip Manor.
V - none
W - none
