Printed in red on the Tube map, the line serves 49 stations over 46 miles (74 km), making it the network's longest line. [3]
The first diagrammatic map of London's rapid transit network was designed by Harry Beck in 1931.

Geographic route map of the Central London Railway. The Central London Railway (CLR), also known as the Twopenny Tube, was a deep-level, underground "tube" railway [note 1] that opened in London in 1900. The CLR's tunnels and stations form the central section of what became London Underground's Central line.
[65] [70] Also during the 1960s, the Victoria line was dug under central London and, unlike the earlier tunnels, did not follow the roads above. The line opened in 1968–71 with the trains being driven automatically and magnetically encoded tickets collected by automatic gates gave access to the platforms.
The railway infrastructure of the London Underground includes 11 lines, with 272 stations.There are two types of line on the London Underground: services that run on the sub-surface network just below the surface using larger trains, and the deep-level tube lines, that are mostly self-contained and use smaller trains.
