Warren Street (ZWS)

Information
Type: Transport for London (Northern &
Victoria Lines)
Station code: ZWS
Opened: 1907
Warren Street is a tube station on the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line and the Victoria Line. The station was opened as Euston Road by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway in 1907 though the name was changed to Warren Street within a year. However the original name is still written in tiles on the Northern Line platforms.

The Victoria Line platforms opened in 1968 and as with all stations on the line the platforms have a tiled motif to aid passenger identification [1]. In Warren Street the motif is a maze (or warren). Warren Street is a typically busy Zone 1 station with nearly 20 million passengers a year, the Victoria Line - Northern Line interchange is one of the busiest on the whole Underground network [2].
