How many people can fit on a Northern Line London Underground Tube Train?

Answer 1

Officially, the capacity of one carriage is 152. There are six carriages on the train equalling 912. This is calculated by the number of seats plus approximately one square metre per every four people. In reality four people per square metre is unrealistic but during rush hour there are probably more people occupying this small amount of space meaning there are closer to a thousand people on a jam-packed train.

Answer 2

Gerbil is pretty much there. There are 248 seats on a Northern line train. Assuming a maximum of five people per metre squared (which in practice is the maximum observed - people don't like getting closer than this!) the number of standing passengers is 552. That's 800 in total. The Jubilee line adds and extra car to what is otherwise pretty much the same train, so gets about 930 on a train.

For safety reasons the train is designed to be able to cope with at least seven people per metre squared, but if you want to try this with some friends you'll see that people won't stand like this for very long. If people did fit like this and used every bit of space you'd get 248 + 773 = 1021 people on a Northern line train!

Answer 3

The Northern Line is a factor of transport for London's Underground tube community (colored black on the tube map). It has extremely a complicated community for an underground line. interior the north it has 3 branches, one from Mill Hill East and the different from intense Barnet which meet at Finchley correct. the different branch is from Edgware. those 2 branches meet at Camden city, the place the line splits lower back, one going by utilising potential of the city (Moorgate and financial corporation) and the different by utilising potential of the West end (Tottenham courtroom highway and Leicester sq.). those 2 branches rejoin at Kennington from the place one line is going south to terminate at Morden. the line is now entirely a tube line and basically tube, underground, trains, can run on it. although, the Barnet and Mill Hill branches have been initially 'overground' strains, being served by utilising trains from King's circulate. till the mass closure of small products yards interior the Nineteen Sixties. products trains ran over those branches, the Mill Hill one extending to Edgware products depot. till the early Nineteen Fifties there have been plans to make larger the Mill Hill branch giving yet another direction to Edgware and thence to Aldenham and additionally to incorporate the then line to Alexandra Palace, yet those plans have been cancelled.

Answer 4

Seems like about 5000 at times and why do people refuse to wear deodarant? Or is it a deliberate attempt to gain some personal space!

Answer 5

About 100 per carriage I would say, maybe more, multiplied by the number of carriages.
