The Jubilee line, named after Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, has a rich history. It originally ran to Charing Cross, rebranding the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line, with trains operational decades prior to its official launch. The line underwent significant expansions over 20 years, finally extending into Docklands to meet the area's growing transport needs. Construction for these extensions commenced in 1993 and opened in stages by December 1999, drastically improving transport capacity and connecting the city's financial center to the Underground network.
