  Hammersmith & City Line - Biocrawler
The Hammersmith and City Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured salmon pink on the Tube map, running between Hammersmith and Aldgate East, extending to Barking in the rush hours.
The line was a branch of the Metropolitan Line until 1988, though in later years it was increasingly operated as a separate line, with the sections not used by the rest of the Metropolitan line (from Hammersmith to Baker Street and from Liverpool Street to Barking sections) not included on the main Metropolitan Line maps.
The name derives from the erstwhile Hammersmith and City Railway (HandCR), a 5-km (3-mile) section between Hammersmith and Westbourne Park that was built and operated jointly by the Metropolitan and Great Western Railways between 1864 and 1868.

Metronet is in charge of the infrastructure and rolling stock of the District, Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and East London lines, collectively known as the subsurface lines (SSL).
In December 2006, it was announced that an additional option in the SSL contract would be taken, involving the extension of all Circle, District (Edgware Road - Wimbledon) and Hammersmith & City trains from 6 to 7 carriages to match the rest of the District line and the Metropolitan line.
Trains on the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Edgware Road to Wimbledon service of the District line - which currently use the same "C-stock" - will be extended from six to seven carriages (each of equivalent length, resulting in a longer train).

The City of London [1], also known as "The City", or "The Square Mile" (after its approximate size), is the area of London that originally lay within the ancient city walls.
The walls around the city, originally built by the Romans, have now largely disappeared (several vestiges still remain, one of the largest of which can be seen outside the Museum of London, another just near the Tower of London) but various place names and streets hint at their prior existence.
The City of London is not a London borough and has an ancient and unusual local governance, with rights and privilages greater than those of anywhere else in the United Kingdom.

 CULG - Hammersmith & City Line
The actual Hammersmith and City Railway was created as a subsidiary of the GWR, running from the latter's main line at Westbourne Park to Hammersmith, mostly on viaducts and using mixed gauge track.
Until then there remained various connections, particularly around the four platforms at Paddington used by the Hammersmith and City, but in that year a remodelling of the area completed the segregation: two of the platforms were transferred to National Rail, and the Underground line's layout was reduced to two plain tracks.
Although Hammersmith (1) on this line and Hammersmith (2) on the District and Piccadilly Lines are completely separate stations, interchange between the two on a single ticket is permitted.
