The London Underground Line descriptions

There are 11 tube lines in London and the Elizabeth line which is actually more of a hybrid rail line, designated “Crossrail”. The 11 main Tube lines are detailed below and information on each is linked. The Elizabeth line which opened its doors, finally, in May 2022 and runs from Reading in the West to Shenfield in the East has not been added as full services are still not expected until 2023.
