It also depends on whether your definition is based on actual line speeds or acceleration/deceleration rates..... The Metropolitan is the fastest, with a permitted line speed of 50mph north of Finchley Road (generically speaking). I suspect the Victoria may also have a line speed of 50mph, though I'm not road/stock trained on it so I can't be sure. I dunno about the Waterloo & City either, but most other lines have stretches were 45mph is the lines maximum permitted speed. On the District, which even as a driver I'm starting to think Bighat is right (! ;D ;D), the maximum line speed in the central "tunnel section" (Bromley-by-Bow to East Putney/Turnham Green) is 35mph and it's 45mph on the rest of the line. The ATO lines (currently Central & Victoria) will always be faster in terms of acceleration/deceleration as the on board computer will drive the train to limits a human would never dare go near. i thought the Met was 60mph and i think the waterloo and city is something around 35kph??

The question though was 'personally' fastest, otherwise there would be nothing to discuss. So I was using time it takes from one end of the line to the other as my personal way of judging how fast the line is!

Which one would be quicker to Bond Street? The direct one or the one that does a U-shape round

Which one would be quicker to Bond Street? The direct one or the one that does a U-shape round it would be the one that has the fastest top speed on the line which one i am not sure

The direct one or the one that does a U-shape round it would be the one that has the fastest top speed on the line which one i am not sure No it wouldn't. The Central Line from Stratford goes like this ------------ The Jubilee Line from Stratford goes like this [_______] Even if the Jubilee had a higher top speed, the Central would still be quicker as its more direct. If you don't believe me, look at a tube map

If you don't believe me, look at a tube map I wouldn't say looking at a tube map would provide the best evidence as they are not geographically accurate. A section with a couple of kinks in the line on the map may have numerous curves (resulting in slower speeds) in real life. I know that's especially true of the Central Line before and after Bank. Having said that, you're still right - the Central is STILL the most direct and therefore still the quickest ;D

Agree with you about the Central Line around Bank too, it feels like you're going through a bloody maze
