Technically speaking there are two Charing Cross branches, the Northern Line (to distinguish from the Bank branch) and the passenger defunct Charing Cross Station on the Jubilee Line that's branched off eastbound prior to the line's 90s-built JLE section.

Hainault has the shallowest lift on the Underground, the lift rising eighteen inches as an alternative to climbing around four steps. Geoff Marshall gives that demonstration at 01:08 youtu.be/Qpgpv07pnyA

Geoff Marshall gives that demonstration at 01:08 youtu.be/Qpgpv07pnyAI would have thought a ramp would do the job, but maybe there isn't room to install one with a sufficiently shallow gradient.

Caledonian Road (Underground) and Caledonian Road & Barnsbury (Overground) is the two closest stations that aren't an OSI

I think this may be the fastest train speed within the tunnelled section of the London Underground, especially as the motor pitch sound¹ suggests another slight tweak up in speed (equivalent to increased rpm in a bus's top gear). ¹ - around 01:02 youtu.be/fXQ229rzo2Y

Don’t know if it’s the same on 09TS but on 67 TS speed was limited to 47.5 mph .Between Highbury & King’s Cross SB and Finsbury Pk & Seven Sisters NB you could feel the checking brake come on.

There does not seem to be any holding back like that. I remember when sometime the District line did that and Piccadilly line; it was as though it is bouncing off the limiter. It is strange how the 09 stock has variable speeds. Sometimes when they come out of the tunnels into some stations, the speed that it enters is frightening and you wonder if it would even stop in time which it does. If you saw say a 73 stock enter a station at those speeds, you would think it would not stop or you would hear a mass screeching of brakes.

On 67TS if the checking brake failed to operate at 47.5 mph once the speed reached 55mph contacts opened on the mechanical governor and operated the code trip valve giving an emergency brake operation.

Looking at the data sheets, Victoria is max 50mph (80kph) in ATO. Jubilee has sections of 56mph (90kph); London Bridge-Bermondsey Bermondsey-Canada Water Canada Water-Canary Wharf

I know the Bakerloo Line gets up to 40 or 45 on the open sections north of Willesden Junction (blame TSW2 for that ) with the tunnel sections getting as high as 35mph
