    It's a black-colored, deep tube route that runs between Morden & Edgware or High Barnet, as well as the Mill Hill East shuttle service. With 5 depot locations: Morden, Golders Green, Highgate, Edgware & High Barnet; and it's splits the route between Kenningston & Euston, then north of Camden Town. That runs from southwest to northwest London, with two branches through central London and three in north London. It runs northwards from its southern terminus at Morden in the borough of Merton to Kennington in Southwark, where it divides into two central branches, one via Charing Cross in the West End & the other via Bank in the City. The central branches re-join at Camden Town where the line again divides into two branches, one to High Barnet & the other to Edgware in the borough of Barnet. The High Barnet branch has an additional single-station spur at Finchley Central with a shuttle train to Mill Hill East.

    For most of its length it is a deep-level tube line. The portion between Stockwell & Borough opened in 1890 & is the oldest section of deep-level tube line on the Underground network. There were about 294 million passenger journeys recorded in 2016-17 on the Northern line, making it the busiest on the Underground. It is unique in having two different routes through central London & two northern branches. Despite its name, it does not serve the northernmost stations on the network, though it does serve the southernmost station, Morden, as well as 16 of the system's 29 stations south of the River Thames. There are 50 stations in total on the line, of which 36 have platforms we're underground (most in the world). Future extension between Kennington & Battersea Power. The line carried a six-car 1995 Stock.
