 London
is served by 12 Tube lines. Underground trains on all lines run every few
minutes between 5.30 until 00:30 Monday to Saturday, and between 7.30 -
23.30 on Sundays. You can get a map for the entire Underground system free
of charge from all train station ticket offices (or click here). No smoking
is allowed on the Underground, either on trains or stations themselves.
Smoking is also not allowed on buses.
Trains and platforms are described as Eastbound, Westbound, Northbound or
Southbound depending on the direction of the line. The front of the train,
and the platform indicator, will show the ultimate destination of the train
- usually, but not always, the last station on the line.
If the station you are travelling to is not on the same line as the one
where you start your journey, you need to change trains at any stations
where two lines meet. For some journeys you may need to change lines twice.
Each line has its own unique colour, so you can easily follow them on
maps and signs throughout the system.
