The Northern Line is a rather strange amalgamation. It's much more complicated than other lines. There are basically five sections:
- Morden to Kennington
- Kennington to Camden Town via Charing Cross Station
- Kennington to Camden Town via Bank Station
- Camden Town to High Barnet (branch to Mill Hill East)
- Camden Town to Edgware
