Northern Line Reviews

Whenever anyone is willing to hear me rant about it, I am more than happy to go on for hours about how much I hate the Northern Line. Living in Euston and working in Bank for a summer, I was forced to ride this line every morning and every afternoon during one of London's hottest seasons on record. I worked out my routine, finding that ...  Read the complete review

Ah, the Northern Line (Aka The Misery Line). When I lived in South London, I used this line on a daily basis to travel to work. Like most of the London underground lines, this one is hot, crowded and subject to the odd delay. I'm not going to bash London Underground in general in this review as I think it is generally an ok system, is very ...  Read the complete review

The Northern line like EVERY line on the London Underground is absolutely useless!! Unpunctual timing and lack of regular service to ALL destinations, signal failures like their is no tomorrow and disgustingly looking ugly trains are just some of the reasons why never to travel on the underground unless their is absolutely no ...  Read the complete review

But, together with commuting on the same line every day, it does give me some sort of perspective, especially on the Southern ...  Read the complete review

I've been using the Northern Line on a more-or-less daily basis for the last two years, and used to travel on it fairly regularly prior to that, as I live just outside London. Deservedly, the line has acquired the nickname of the 'Misery line', for its consistently poor performance record. The trains are unbelievably crowded, ...  Read the complete review

The northern line has often been referred to as ‘The misery line’ and it is not difficult to see why sometimes. I used to live in Clapham in south London and travelled on this line for 18 years before moving further out of London. Although there are new trains, which look cleaner, and brighter, there is still room for ...  Read the complete review

Yes it's the Northern Line, with new trains that talk, but alas they still cannot pronounce Highgate, and get a tad bit confused on what station you're really at. Well apart from that, it's not bad, not bad at all. The service is good, not great yet. If your really lucky you could get one of the two funny train drivers who ...  Read the complete review
