	CULG - Waterloo & City Line
		The Waterloo and City Railway - known as "the drain" to its users - was created as a subsidiary of the LSWR to allow main line passengers to reach the city.
		The LSWR later chose to electrify its surface lines differently, using an outside rail at 600 V; this became the standard third-rail system on the SR and its successors, and was installed on the Waterloo and City, together with new rolling stock, in 1940.
		Until the construction of Waterloo International station, there was a hoist on the west side of the mainline station, connecting to the main lines and to the eastbound tube east of the station.

		The Waterloo & City line is only one and a half miles long, but for 100 years it has been a very important line, carrying far more passengers than many much longer lines elsewhere.
		It owes its origins to the fact that, like other main line railway terminal stations bringing passengers from afar to the City of London, the Waterloo terminus of the LSWR was still a long way from the real centre of the city.
		The line today, and its two stations, is still very much the same as when first built, with various small improvements, especially better access facilities at the City end, and it was completely re-equipped with new rolling stock in 1940 and again in 1993.

		Peter Knottley's magnificent photo of Waterloo Depot was taken a few months prior to the tunnel walk during the Locomotive and Carriage Institution's Waterloo and City Line Seminar and Depot visit on 14th March 1998.
		Returning to the Waterloo or up platform, we took a well earned rest and drinks of orange juice (a large bottle of which had been carried by Ron) sitting in a unit berthed in the platform.
		Returning through the Waterloo direction tube, it was noted that the scenery on offer was generally similar to that in the Bank direction tube, though there is no sump on this side.

	Trains
		Common to all the lines on the London Underground is both the gauge of the tracks, which is the standard 1,435mm (4 ft 8½ in), and the electric supply system, 630 volts dc (direct current) with separate positive and negative rails.
		The Central Line has a fleet of 85 eight-car trains of 1992 tube stock built by ABB Transportation in Derby, of which 72 are required for peak period service.
		The Victoria Line is currently the only automatically operated London Underground line, with the train operator responsible for the safe operation of the doors and for giving the train the signal to proceed to the next station.

	1940 Waterloo & City Line stock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The twelve motor coaches and sixteen trailers were similar to contemporary London underground stock but were shorter to fit onto the hoist from the surface and their windows were smaller to reflect the fact that the route was entirely under ground and much shorter than most underground lines.
		The Waterloo and City line was sold to London Underground Limited in 1994 in preparation for the privatisation of the railways as it was not thought viable to be part of a Train Operating Company franchise.
		Unusually for the Southern Region, the WandC line did not use fixed formation trains, so although these motor cars were used either end of up to three trailers there were no set numbers.

		He suggests that the line should be handed over to the London Passenger Transport Board, to be dealt with as part of the Underground system.
		He goes on to say that "it is useless for the Southern Railway to speed up trains into Waterloo if their system underground is incapable of moving the passengers off to the City with reasonable facility and comfort".
		It goes on to point out that the conditions of the Waterloo and City are quite different to the rest of London Transport and it would not be necessary to depart from what is already in place.

	Waterloo & City Line - Review - Not for the faint hearted
		For those of you who have never had the experiance of using the Waterloo and City line then I feel its my duty to warn you of what you might expect.
		Where this line differs from most of the other lines is that because it exists purely for the business community, there is no weekend service, and the last weekday service is at 9:30pm.
		Waterloo has only a huge ramp and a wide set of stairs as access to the platform fo this line.

		It connects Bank Station and Waterloo Station, and was built in the last few years of the 19th century, before any other tube lines were dug past Waterloo (which is partly why it seems so odd on the map; there are now other ways of getting between the two stations).
		The line runs the same sort of trains as the Central Line, although only half the length, without some of the later modifications the Central Line uses, and with little armrests that got lost on the rest of the network.
		The line only runs until the early evening, and not at all on Sundays {too lazy to pull out map- check; Blech}.

		As well as the whole fleet of 8-car 1992 stock Central Line trains, which displaced the 1962 stock, a further five four-car trains of 1992 stock were ordered to replace the life-expired 1940 third-rail electric trains on the Waterloo and City Line.
		There were rumours abounding during much of 1999 that the Waterloo and City 1992 stock units were to be given to the Central Line to strengthen the latter's fleet; the WandC would then be lumbered with tired-out 1972 MkI stock recently withdrawn from the Northern Line.
		This Central Line train is stabled in a siding adjacent to the terminal platforms at West Ruislip; whoever drove it there has "funnied" it by setting the headcode number to 999, and the destination reads "Ongar".
