Overview of this tube line:
- Opened in 1898.
- Colour: Turquoise.
- Underground.
- 2 stations.
- 2.37 km (1.47 miles) long.
This line of just two stations passes under the River Thames. It's used specifically to carry passengers working in the City of London and the journey takes about four minutes.
Waterloo station has a reputation for sometimes having a "strange smell", contributing to the line being nicknamed "The Drain". Interestingly, a creative version of the London Underground map featured in MyLondon.news attributes the specific scent of peeled potatoes to Waterloo station. This suggests that the smell, while perhaps not a universal experience, has been noted by commuters. The marshy area where Waterloo station is located has a high amount of decomposing organic matter due to the sediments of the Thames over thousands of years.
Interestingly, the Waterloo & City line is physically isolated from the rest of the Underground network (there is no track connection to any other line). It also runs entirely underground. It has also been used for filming, for example the BBC's "Survivors", and films like "The Tripods" (1984) and "Sliding Doors" (1998).
