The Metropolitan line is part of the London Underground. It is coloured in Transport for London's (TfL) Corporate Magenta on the Tube map and in other branding. It was the first underground railway in the world, opening as the Metropolitan Railway on 10 January 1863. (Parts of that initial railway are no longer served by the Metropolitan line, but by the Hammersmith & City, District and Circle lines.) The main line runs from Aldgate in the City of London to Amersham in Buckinghamshire, with branch lines to Uxbridge, Watford and Chesham. On the southern section the line is below ground for much of the way; north of Baker Street, at Finchley Road the line runs in the open. Of the 34 stations served, nine are below ground. It is the ninth busiest line on the network.
