| <div class="inline_hint">@MAP_LINK [[Category Metropolitan Line|View all Metropolitan Line stations on a map]]</div> 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 7 Stations|7]], [[Category Zone 8 Stations|8]], or [[Category Zone 9 Stations|9]]. 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 Station|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. The distinction between fast and slow trains is less important on the [[Uxbridge Station|Uxbridge]] branch, though [http://groups.google.com/group/uk.transport.london/msg/ff2cae7de33f4c62 according to uk.transport.london] there's at least one southbound train in the evening peak which runs fast from Harrow-on-the-Hill.
