Victoria Line

The Victoria Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured light blue on the Tube map. It is a deep-level line running from the south-west to the north-east of London. It was built in the 1960s to relieve congestion on other lines, in particular the Piccadilly Line. The Victoria line was designed to maximise possible interchanges, yet keep a large distance between stations for trains to build up speed. It is because of this that the Victoria line has just one station that is not a tube or rail interchange: Pimlico. Many stations on the route were rearranged to allow for cross-platform interchanges. In some cases this was achieved by placing the Victoria Line platforms on either side of the existing station, while in others the Victoria Line uses one of the old platforms while the older line was diverted into a new platform. At Euston, while northbound Victoria and Northern Line (City branch) trains run along adjacent platforms, they go in opposite directions along them. Other cross-platform interchanges are at Stockwell (with the Northern Line), Oxford Circus (with the Bakerloo Line), Highbury & Islington (with the WAGN Northern City Line) and Finsbury Park (with the Piccadilly Line). There is a connection from Seven Sisters to the line's depot at Northumberland Park.

Trains

The Victoria Line is served by a fleet of 43 1967 Tube Stock trains. Each train is made up of two four-car units giving a total of eight cars per train. The line is equipped with an automatic train operation system (ATO); the train operator (driver) needs only to close the train doors and press a pair of "start" buttons, and if the way ahead is clear the ATO will drive the train at a safe speed to the next station and stop there. This system has been in place since the line opened in 1968. The 1967 stock is due for replacement over the next decade as part of Transport for London's 5 year £10 billion redevelopment project. The replacement for the line's 1967 Tube Stock will be the 2009 Tube Stock built by Bombardier Transportation.

"Plundering Time"

The Plundering Time refers to 1644-1646, a period of civil unrest and uproar in Maryland (later part of the United States). Leonard Calvert (1606-1647) was governer of the colony when the English Civil War broke out and found himself and the colony under attack from Parliamentary privateers such as Captain Richard Ingle.
