Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 12 and Version 8 of Category Jubilee Line

The Jubilee Line is the youngest of the Tube lines. It opened on 1 May 1979, running from Stanmore to Charing Cross, and 20 years later was extended further eastward to Stratford. The Jubilee Line no longer stops at Charing Cross; once the full extension was open the route was diverted via Westminster instead. The stations/platforms of the extension tend to be modernist, with a lot of very effective use of concrete, and they all offer step-free access.

It's a fairly simple line; no branches or spurs, just a linear route from Stanmore to Stratford. Some trains do terminate short of the full distance; at North Greenwich in the east, at Wembley Park and Neasden in the north/west, and sometimes even at Green Park in the middle.

As of 2009-2010, due to signalling upgrades, the Jubilee Line is often closed at weekends; see closure schedule to Easter 2010 (scroll down).
