Circle Line

The Circle Line ( circular line ) is a line of the Métro of London, the Tube, represented in yellow on the plane of the Tube. It exists as such since 1949, date on which it was separated from the Metropolitan Line and the District Line, but appeared on the plane subway as of 1947. It is sometimes known under the name of “ virtual line ” (the virtual line) because it does not have any clean station. Indeed, it was created starting from two already existing lines. The two only sections of ways on which Circle Line circulates in an exclusive way are connections between High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road and between Tower Hill and Aldgate. The line also connects between them the majority of the large London stations.

Circle Line defines roughly the tariff zone 1 in north, is and the west of the center of London: there exists however an important part of this zone in the south outside the line. As its name indicates it, the line does not have terminus, and the trains run there continuously. A full rotation of the line takes in theory 45 minutes, but in order to ensure of the stable schedules the trains stop 2 minutes with High Street Kensington and Aldgate, pushing the duration of a full rotation at 49 minutes. That makes it possible to ensure circulation on the line of seven trains in each direction, with a seven minutes frequency. The line has 27 stations and 22,5 kilometers of ways.
