Victoria line
The light blue Victoria line is the workhorse of the network — only 16 stations across 21 km, but every single one is an interchange, and trains run automatically at up to 36 per hour, one of the highest metro frequencies anywhere in the world.
About the Victoria line
Opened in 1968, the Victoria line was the first fully automatic passenger railway in the UK. Drivers open and close doors but the train drives itself.
Every station is an interchange with another Tube line or National Rail — making the Victoria line the single most useful Tube line for moving across central London quickly.
Full Night Tube on Friday and Saturday nights, with trains running roughly every 10 minutes through the night.
