Interesting Metropolitan Line Facts

The Metropolitan line (the "Met") opened in 1863 and was the world's first underground passenger railway.

It is the only Underground line with fast and semi-fast services (mostly at peak times). It also has the longest distance between two adjacent stations on the Underground: Chesham and Chalfont & Latimer.

Outside central London, large sections of the line run above ground and helped shape the historic "Metro-land" suburbs.
