Geoff Marshall released a video today of his visit to Cockfosters as part of his end of the line series and his little bit of trivia is that Cockfosters is the most northernly station in London. Before anyone corrects me or him, we are talking about stations inside the London boroughs, not those outside of Greater London youtu.be/EoOn9EiEObU

Heathrow Terminal V most westerly From an earlier post: Indeed but the western most point on the network is west of Amersham where the London Underground boundary finishes (courtesy of watching a Geoff Marshall video )

Tower Hill is where the same word is used the most times in the announcements on the District line (Tower is used 5 times).
"The next station is Tower Hill. Change for the Circle line, DLR from Tower Gateway and national rail services from Fenchurch Street. Exit for the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and riverboat services from Tower Pier".

Have you ever wondered about those black-framed white squares containing a black-and-white circular diagram, that you sometimes see in Underground stations? They are "Labyrinths", and were created by the artist Mark Wallinger. They were launched on 9th January 2013, part of the commemorations of the opening of London's first underground railway, between Paddington and Farringdon, exactly 150 years previously. Every one of the Underground's 270 stations has a Labyrinth and each one is unique. They are also individually numbered, in the order each station was visited by a former record-holding team competing in "The Tube Challenge", whereby the aim is to visit all 270 stations in the shortest possible time. The Labyrinths are all in public view, but in different areas of each station - maybe on the exterior, or in the ticket hall, or on an unassuming wall somewhere in the station. www.thetravel.com/why-are-there-labyrinths-in-the-london-underground/

I believe the cross over sections by Finsbury Park is the only deep level tunnel section where you can be in one tube train and see another moving in the same direction. Additionally the other train is from a different line (between the Victoria Line and Piccadilly Line).
I'm welcomed to any corrections, as always

I wish the Victoria Line had another branch after between Euston and Finsbury Park stopping just at Camden Town in between them so that at least people won’t have to take a packed 29 or 253 at rush hours and so they can avoid the traffic there at those times especially because even for car drivers, speed limits are reduced at Camden Road and they removed the bus lane so it would be helpful.
what do you guys think?

The Victoria Line isn’t ideal for extra branches or extensions due to it’s very high frequency and Camden Town is unsuitable at present due to how busy the station is and being unable to cope with anymore services

Please use this thread for discussion about the Victoria line tangytango.proboards.com/thread/12406/london-underground-discussionRegarding your point though, it's too expensive to just create a new piece of track like that. Also Finsbury Park has cross platform interchange with the Piccadilly line, which I can imagine would be hard to fit in the new platforms in unless you had both branches using the same platforms.
