From Brixton to Walthamstow Central, the Victoria Line is one of London's busiest tube lines.  Plans for the Victoria Line date back to the 1930's, but due to the war and planning issues, work on the line didn't begin until 1962.  The line opened in stages, with the first stretch from Walthamstow to Highbury opening in 1968, then the line reached Victoria and finally ended up in Brixton in 1971.  The line has always used Automatic Train Operation (ATO) whereby the whole train and journey is controlled by computers, this includes signal checks, acceleration and braking.  The line serves 16 stations and is unusual on the London Underground by the fact that it is the only line to be totally underground for it's entire length, with the only open air section being the depot at Northumberland Park.  In 2000, the Victoria Line carried 175.4 million passengers.  Victoria was the lines busiest station with a total of 60.2 million passengers passing through the ticket gates that year.
