Do you have a working weblink to some statistical proof if you say you know the answer? It's another question that's been bugging me. Thanks!

# Hampstead is the deepest station under the surface at 58.5 metres (192 feet). However, it is not the deepest below sea level as the line is climbing towards the north and the station's surface building is near the top of a hill.
# The actual deepest platforms below sea level are the Jubilee Line platforms at Westminster (altitude -105 feet).

From my own experience of living in London for more than 28 and using all underground stations during this speriod, I would say the absolute deepest part of the system is on the Northern Lone where, below Hampstead Heath, the rails are over 220 feet below the ground, and the nearby Hampstead station is also the deepest station on the network at 192 feet below ground level. The platforms here are reached by the deepest lifts on the system which descend 181 feet.

The highest point reached by London Underground trains is at Amersham on the Metropolitan Line at about 500 feet above sea level. However the highest point above the ground is reached on the Dollis Brook Viaduct on the Mill Hill East branch of the Northern Line which is 60 feet above the road below.

The lowest point on the system is just south of Waterloo station on the Northern, where the tracks are 70 feet below sea level.

Hi.
Northern line near Hampstead.
The old ears go pop on surfacing.
Check out the 3D map thing from London Underground.
It confirms the ear-popping scenario.
Cockfosters is nice, rolling across the feilds overground, but I digress.
Oh, what was the other question, then ?

Happy travelling on the system.

Bob.
