History

Originally called the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway, the line was constructed by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London Limited and opened in 1906. Prior to this, it had been financed by the mining entrepreneur and company promoter Whitaker Wright, who fell foul of the law over the financial proceedings involved and dramatically committed suicide at the Royal Courts of Justice after being convicted in 1904. The contraction of the name to "Bakerloo" rapidly caught on, and the official name was changed to match.

Trains

All Bakerloo line trains are painted in the distinctive London Underground livery of red, white and blue and are the smaller size of the two sizes used on the network, since trains travel deep underground in small tunnels. The nickname the Tube comes from the circular tube-like tunnels through which the small-profile trains travel. ...

The interiors of these trains have recently been 'deep cleaned' and the seating has been replaced by a more appealing blue. The seating layouts are longitudinal and transverse, with some cars having longitudinal seating only.

Former northern extension

Between 1917 and 1982, Bakerloo line trains ran from Harrow & Wealdstone to Watford Junction, serving stations belonging to the London and North Western Railway and subsequently British Rail.

Services were withdrawn on the grounds of duplication with British Rail mainline service, having already been run down significantly prior to withdrawal, with Tube trains only calling there at peak periods. It has been proposed that the service should be restored with the Tube taking over this stretch of the mainline (see the external links for more details). 1917 (MCMXVII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar (see link for calendar) or a common year starting on Tuesday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar. ... 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
