District line

Color maps usually show the District line as a green line.

The District line consists of several branches that link Edgware Road, Earl's Court, and Kensington (Olympia) with Ealing Broadway, Richmond, and Wimbledon in the west and with Upminster in the east.

Between Barking and Aldgate East, London Underground services on the Upminster branch of the District line and on the Hammersmith and City line share the same platforms.

Between Tower Hill and South Kensington, London Underground services on the Upminster branch of the District line and on the Circle line share platforms. When eastbound, London Underground services on the Upminster branch of the District line also share a platform with London Underground services on the Circle line at Gloucester Road.

Between South Kensington and Ealing Common, London Underground services on the District line and on the Piccadilly line serve the same route, sharing platforms at Acton Town and Ealing Common and having adjacent platforms at Barons Court, Hammersmith, Turnham Green, and Acton Town, but services on the District line serve more stations.

Between Gunnersbury and Richmond, London Underground services on the Richmond branch of the District line and London Overground services on the line between Richmond and Stratford serve the same route, sharing platforms at Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury.

Between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington, London Underground services on the Edgware Road branch of the District line and on the Circle line share platforms (with some terminating trains on an adjacent platform at High Street Kensington).

At Earl's Court, all the branches of the District line meet, so trains go to Ealing Broadway, Edgware Road, High Street Kensington, Kensington (Olympia), Richmond, Upminster, and Wimbledon.

From Upminster, trains go to Ealing Broadway, Richmond, or Wimbledon. The Wimbledon branch divides from the Ealing Broadway and Richmond branches at Earls Court. The Ealing Broadway and Richmond branches divide at Turnham Green.

From Wimbledon, trains go to Upminster or Edgware Road.

From Ealing Broadway, trains go to Upminster or High Street Kensington.
