Color Coding in London Tube ..




The London underground train system is known as the tube. Its actually the oldest system of its type in the world first operating in 1863. The various sections are broken down into named routes called lines, and each tube line has an identifying locality name and is additionally colour coded on tube maps. These are:
Bakerloo line
Central line
Circle line
District line
Hammersmith & City line
Jubilee line
Metropolitan line
Northern line
Piccadilly line
Victoria line
Waterloo & City line



This coding is not just applied on the maps, it's applied to some architectural features so the user can make a connection. Taking the Central line as an example, red is applied in many places:

In stations







In trains
