I do wonder whether the map should include the Stanmore branch as we cover the history of the line and its relative position to the remaining branch would be useful to readers (maybe dotted or a lighter brown) --VampWillow 15:51, 2004 May 9 (UTC)
- Sounds good - go ahead ;-) - David Gerard 16:39, May 9, 2004 (UTC)

- I think either include none, or please include the route to Watford too. Patrickov 14:38, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Possibly a separate map, e.g. the Northern Heights diagrams on Northern Line. Who feels like doing some bad art? - David Gerard 18:39, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fake Buildings
Sorry if this sounds foolish but I heard some while ago that a certain part of the london subway - not sure which line, may even be gone now - was made in such a way that they couldn't have real buildings up anymore so they built fakes to either side of the road. I don't know much more about this but if it's true can you give me the name? Chooserr
- This is correct, although I do not think that it is the Bakerloo line has any of these. The earliest Underground lines used very shallow tunnels built using the "cut and cover" method and were originally operated using steam trains. Hence they needed regular holes in the tunnel roofs through which to vent their smoke. In the more afluent areas of London these holes where sometimes hidden behind fake house facades so as not to spoil the appearance of the area. The Bakerloo line was electric from day one and probably never needed any such holes but the District line does still have them. See: http://www.urban75.org/london/leinster.html for details and pictures. --DanielRigal 16:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
