The Metropolitan Line is part of the London Underground, coloured violet on the Tube map.
Stations on the Metropolitan Line are: Aldgate Liverpool Street Moorgate (Trains from the north/west can terminate at Moorgate, but none regularly do in the current timetable) Barbican Farringdon King's Cross St. Pancras Euston Square Great Portland Street Core section The Metropolitan line diverges from the Circle/Hammersmith & City lines just east of Baker Street station, where they use separate platforms, at a roughly 45 degree angle to the Circle/Hammersmith & City platforms. Baker Street (most trains start their journey (north) here) Finchley Road Between Finchley Road and Wembley Park the line runs on the outside of the Jubilee line. Two Jubilee line stations; Willesden Green and Neasden; have platforms on the Metropolitan line, but Met trains only stop there when the Jubilee line is unavailable, as well as a few services at the extreme ends of the day. Wembley Park Preston Road Northwick Park Harrow-on-the-Hill At Wembley Park, the Metropolitan lines split from two tracks to four, with the faster lines on the outside. Fast services (typically to Amersham) and semi-fast services (typically to Watford) do not stop at Preston Road or Northwick Park. During the peaks, they also skip Wembley Park. At Harrow, the line splits into two branches — the main line to Northwood and the Uxbridge branch. Uxbridge branch (continuing from Harrow on the Hill) West Harrow Rayners Lane (from Rayners Lane to Uxbridge the line is shared with the Piccadilly Line) Eastcote Ruislip Manor Ruislip Ickenham Hillingdon Uxbridge Northwood branch (continuing from Harrow on the Hill) North Harrow Pinner Northwood Hills Northwood Moor Park After Harrow-on-the-Hill the lines are re-arranged into two parallel pairs, the slow (the northerly pair) and the fast. Watford branch (continuing from Moor Park - a triangular connection also exists, allowing trains to run between Watford and Rickmansworth, and there are a few early-morning/late-evening services that do this). Croxley Watford Towards Amersham (continuing from Moor Park) Stations between Rickmansworth and Amersham are also served by most Chiltern services to Aylesbury.
