I'm aware that the core part of the Central Line has these humps -
does the Vic? Which other tube lines have them?


The Victoria line is not so well endowed with them, due to the
complexities of fitting the tunnels around the existing
infrastructure, but there are still some. Stratford on the Central
line is a lovely example of the hump!!
