Instead of you worrying about Bighat, Olgalucia I'm getting more worried about you... Not only have you just attacked (for want of a better word) a member but you've also chosen to use symbols to represent letters in your post, which I can only just make out but others will have difficulty reading. So consider your post deleted.BTW in case anyone is confused this post is in reference to an earlier one Olgalucia made at 9:47pm, which I've now removed.You deleted my post but by the way im not that bothered ;D You won't mind leaving then because anymore of that behaviour and that's exactly what you'll be doing

What is your personally fastest tube line on the London Underground? Do you mean the actual trains or the time taken? For example, the Piccadilly Line's 73 stock are physically faster than the Victoria Line's 67 stock. However, between Kings Cross and Finsbury Park the Victoria Line will get from Kings Cross to Finsbury Park quicker as it has less stops to serve (same with Kings Cross to Green Park). In terms of fastest tube trains, I'd say it's the Jubilee, Central and Picadilly (in that order).

Unfortunately, most people who start this kind of thread never get as far as 'thinking through' what they are actually asking in the title.

I believe the fastest tube lines are; 1. Central Line 2. Victoria Line 3. Metropolitian Line 4. Piccadilly Line
- The Northern Line is quite slow for some reason from my prospective. Only like between Clapham North - Morden it is a little speed.
- The Jubilee Line is fast in the Tunnel, but it does not approach stations so fast.
- The District Line can be fast at times like when overground as suggested.

How, the Victoria lines ATO makes it faster than any tube on the underground it just that the stations are spaced quite far away from each other which makes people think that it is slower than it actually is

Just a couple of comments here.
Metropolitan line
These trains feel very slow accelerating and their 50 mph top speed is probably only attained on express sections of the route. Do some trains have a new motor package?
Victoria Line
These are 1967 stock trains and apparently there are very few sections where the 50 mph top speed is actually attained. I've noticed the last time I was on board that the ATO's program has been optimised for coasting. For example power is shut off earlier between Tottenham Hale and Blackhorse Road and also earlier between Highbury and Islington and Finsbury Park. Uphill their limitations are apparent. Seven Sisters to Finsbury Park takes 4 minutes uphill. It can take 2.5 minutes in the other direction downhill.
Central Line and Jubilee line
These trains have excellent acceleration and the stock has a permitted top speed of 100 kph (62 mph) but i am uncertain where this is actually attained. Someone needs to take a good GPS unit and measure the speed on the outdoor sections.

So what about the Upminister - Barking bit??[/quote] The whole District Line is slow. Yes it's got a very good acceleration, but that's it. Jubilee seems quite fast, but seeing as we've had the facts on speed, let's not go debating it any further ;D

All line distances are actually measured in KMs. Though speed on most is in MPH.

The Waterloo and City Line, because you can get from one end of the line to the other in a matter of minutes. No other line comes close.
