What is the origin of the strange names of London Underground stations?

Many transfer stations on the London Underground are transferred at one platform, be sure to look at the reminder sign before transferring, the next car is to go to **, and then combine the subway map in your hand to see if it is the train you need to do. The sign of the villain is barrier-free transfer, that is, you can do the elevator (if you have a lot of luggage and heavy luggage, you must take the elevator, otherwise you will be very tired) The small circle means the transfer station, and you can transfer to other subway trains or city railways.

1.Today's Greater London is a city of 40 kilometers in length and width, and the ring is divided into 1 to 6 districts, which is somewhat similar to the division method within the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Ring Roads in Beijing, while the old city was basically in the first district of London.

2.The pass is a day pass, and the day pass is also divided into off-peak and peak. If you select 'off-peak', you won't be able to use it during that peak hour.

3.The remaining amount in the Oyster card can be refunded.

I would like to ask you a few questions about the London Underground:

1.How are the 6 districts of London divided?

This is the London Underground map The above is divided into 1-6 areas according to dark and light colors, it is more intuitive to look at the map directly, the map can be obtained at any subway station in London, and it can be printed in advance if you need to.

2.Do I need to select a time slot if I buy a pass? If I choose 'off-peak', can I use this pass during peak hours?

If your goal is to only visit London, it is more cost-effective to buy an oystercard, with a daily cap and an average of about pounds per trip on the Tube Return and the remaining balance at the end of the trip.

3.If I buy an Oyster card, can I get a refund of the remaining amount at the end of the tour? Ditto.

The so-called partition du is according to the city.

The city of Zhi extends from the inside to the outside

The central version is Zone 1, surrounded by Zone 2 on the outside, and then surrounded by Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5, and Zone 6 outward. There are also zones 7-9 on the northwest corner.

The subway in the 1-4 districts is very developed, so another map is issued to these areas The 1st district of London is the historical central area, with a radius of no more than a mile, called Mile City, which can be seen to be very small and can be crossed on foot. Today, the center of London has long included at least 2 districts, and you can see that 1-2 districts are integrated at the same price by looking at the transport ticket.

London's Inner Ring Road wraps around zones 1-4, so zone 4 is Old London. The radius is about 15 kilometers, which is 20 minutes without traffic jams. The reason why I mention this is that I found that many new friends are only huddled in Zone 1.

London is actually very small, especially for people who are used to big cities from Asia.

On July 16, 2018 local time, a subway station in London, England, was renamed "Southgate" to thank Southgate, the coach who led the LinkedIn Glenn football team to the final four.

England's run to the semi-finals at this World Cup is their best record since 1990. As a result, Gareth Southgate, the head coach of the British national team, has been well received by the British people.

To commemorate this achievement, the North London Underground Southgate Station changed its name to Garath Southgate Station on the 16th and 17th. Southgate itself is a pun on both 'Southgate' and Southgate's England manager's surname.

Transport for London said: "We are delighted to be able to express our appreciation to Southgate and the team by changing the name of the tube station. ”

London Underground.

The London Underground (Londoners call it "tube" or "underground").

Say subway, Metro can understand it too.

The London Underground is the oldest underground railway in the world. The total length is more than 410 km. Construction began in 1856 and was officially put into operation on January 10, 1863.

It is about a kilometer long, the tunnel cross section is high and wide, and it is a single-arch brick structure. At that time, trains were drawn by steam locomotives. In 1890, another underground railway was built, which was a kilometer long, with a circular tunnel with an inner diameter of meters and a cast iron segment lining.

Pulling trains with electric locomotives, it is the world's first electrified subway. Now the London Underground trains in the United Kingdom are supplied with direct current through the third rail, with a voltage of 600 volts. The maximum speed of the train is 96 kilometers per hour when the train travels at a speed of about 32 kilometers per hour.

In 1971, the London Underground began to use remote control and computer technology to operate trains in the Victoria Line area. As of June 2015, a one-day pass for the London Underground (zones 1 to 6)** is £12 per person (about RMB 120).

"Today, London has built a 408-kilometre underground network, 160 kilometres of which are underground, with 12 routes and 275 stations in operation, carrying an average of 2.67 million passengers a day, compared to 976 million passengers in 2004-05. ”—275！Or do a quick online search for "London Underground lines"** and count how many stops there are.

。。。I can't give this.,The east side is expanding.。。。 Planning to 2032, it's hard to give you a precise number, and you can go up to the London Tube to see the existing stations, where there are as many as there are.

There are more than 273 stations in the London Underground, with an average distance of kilometres. Most of the deep-buried stations are side-type platforms set in a large-diameter circular tunnel.
