Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 4 and Version 3 of Category Metropolitan Line

Version 4 Version 3
== Line 1 == == Line 0 ==
The Metropolitan Line is unusual among Tube lines.

Firstly, it has a number of stations which aren't in the usual Travelcard zones; instead, they're far enough out of London that they've been put in zones [[Category Zone A Stations|A]], [[Category Zone B Stations|B]], [[Category Zone C Stations|C]], or [[Category Zone D Stations|D]]. You can still get there on Oyster Prepay, though, and I believe you can buy Travelcards which include these zones.

Secondly, at the [[Amersham Station|Amersham]] end of the line, there is the concept of fast, semi-fast, and slow services; these are similar to the National Rail non-stopping and stopping services. (This doesn't usually happen on Tube lines.)

* Fast services, which generally run to Amersham, are non-stop between [[Wembley Park Station|Wembley Park]] (or [[Finchley Road Station|Finchley Road]] at peak times) and [[Harrow-On-The-Hill Station|Harrow-on-the-Hill]]; and also between Harrow-on-the-Hill and [[Moor Park Station|Moor Park]].
* Semi-fast services, which generally run to Watford, are non-stop between Wembley Park (or Finchley Road at peak times) and Harrow-on-the-Hill.
* Slow services, which generally run to Watford, stop at all stations.

NB: I'm not entirely sure how the fast/semi-fast/slow services work in relation to the [[Uxbridge Station|Uxbridge]] branch. The only stations which could be affected by different service patterns are [[Preston Road Station|Preston Road]] and [[Northwick Park Station|Northwick Park]] (and Wembley Central at peak times); do all Uxbridge trains stop at these stations?

The [[Chesham Station|Chesham]] spur is also interesting; service to Chesham is via a shuttle service from [[Chalfont And Latimer Station|Chalfont and Latimer]]; a short (2-4 carriage, I think) Tube train that just goes back and forth and back and forth around twice an hour.
