Jubilee line status update

Opened in , it is the newest line on the Underground network, although some sections of track date back to and some stations to The western section between Baker Street and Stanmore was previously a branch of the Metropolitan line and later the Bakerloo line , while the newly built line was completed in two major sections: initially in to Charing Cross , then in with an extension to Stratford. The later stations are larger and have special safety features , both aspects being attempts to future-proof the line. Following the extension to east London, serving areas once poorly connected to the Underground, the line has seen a huge growth in passenger numbers and is the fourth-busiest on the network after the Northern , Victoria and Central lines , [3] with over million passenger journeys in The Jubilee line is printed silver on the Tube map , to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II , after which the line was named. The first section of what is now the Jubilee line opened in , when the Metropolitan Railway built a branch from its main line at Wembley Park to Stanmore. The line, as with many others in the northwest London area, was designed for the use of commuters from the new and rapidly expanding suburbs. The line presented the Metropolitan with a problem. The suburban traffic had been so successful that, by the early s, the lines into Baker Street were becoming overloaded, a problem exacerbated by the post-war flight from the City of London to the West End of London. At first, the Metropolitan had advocated a new deep tube line roughly following the line of the Edgware Road between the tube station and a point near Willesden Green. Indeed, construction advanced as far as the rebuilding of Edgware Road station to accommodate 4 platforms of 8-car length. The solution was now a new branch of the Bakerloo line from Baker Street to serve new stations at St John's Wood and Swiss Cottage , thereby rendering the existing stations of Lord's , Marlborough Road and Swiss Cottage on the parallel route redundant, and negating the need for the Met's extension from Edgware Road station. It was originally proposed that the Metropolitan line's Swiss Cottage station would remain open during peak hours for interchange with the Bakerloo, and that Lord's station would open for special cricketing events, but both were closed permanently as economy measures during the Second World War. The new line rose between the Metropolitan line tracks at Finchley Road , providing cross-platform interchange with the Metropolitan line.

Canary Wharf experienced a fire alert this Monday, February Some commuters allegedly saw 'smoke' filling the air at two nearby stations as rushed commuters hurry to change trains. However, TfL has said there were no reports of smoke at London Bridge and Canada Water stations and told MyLondon that the alarm went off 'due to fault with the fire alarm system and not any detection equipment being activated'. The cause was a 'drop in water pressure', which triggered the alarm system to activate.
