The London Underground is a metro system in the United Kingdom that serves Greater London and the home counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire. Its first section opened in 1863,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A brief history of the Underground )〕 making it the oldest underground metro system in the world – although in fact approximately 55 per cent of the current network is above ground,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts & Figures )〕 as it generally runs on the surface in outlying suburbs. The system comprises 11 lines – Bakerloo, Central, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria, Waterloo & City – serving 270 stations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=London Underground )〕 It is operated by Transport for London (TfL). Most of the system is north of the River Thames, with six London boroughs in the south of the city not served by the Underground. The London Borough of Hackney, to the north, has two stations on its border. Some stations at the north-eastern end of the Central line are in the Epping Forest district of Essex and some stations at the north-western end of the Metropolitan line are in the Three Rivers and Watford districts of Hertfordshire and the Chiltern district of Buckinghamshire. There are two instances where two separate stations share the same name: there is one Edgware Road station on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines and another Edgware Road on the Bakerloo line, and there is one Hammersmith station on the District and Piccadilly lines and another Hammersmith station on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines. Although the Hammersmith & City line platforms at Paddington are on the other side of the main line station from the platforms of the other Underground lines, it is treated as a single station. Paddington is shown this way on the current Tube map but has been shown as two separate stations at different times in the past. TfL plans to open six new stations between 2017 and 2020 as a result of extensions to the Metropolitan and Northern lines. One Metropolitan line station, Watford, will close due to its branch being diverted onto a new route. Two of the planned Metropolitan line stations, Watford High Street and Watford Junction, are currently served by London Overground. ==Stations== Listed for each station are the line(s) serving it, local authority and the fare zone in which it is located,〔The London Underground uses a system of nine concentric zones for the calculation of fares between stations. Fares between any station in one zone and any station in another are the same, irrespective of the start and end points of the journey or the route used.〕 the date it and any earlier main line service opened, previous names and passenger usage statistics in millions per year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of London Underground stations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
