East London Line - East London Line The East London Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured orange on the Tube map. It runs north to south in the Docklands area of London.

Victoria Line - Victoria Line The Victoria Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured light blue on the Tube map. It is a deep-level "tube" line which runs from the south-west to the north-east of London. It was built in the 1960s, to relieve congestion on other lines, in particular the Piccadilly Line. The Victoria line was designed to maximize the possible interchanges, yet keep a large distance between stations for trains to build up speed. Many stations on the route were rearranged for so-called "cross-platform interchange": each Victoria Line platform was placed adjacent to and parallel with that of the equivalent direction track of the other line, thus making them essentially two faces of a single platform (though they were in different tunnels). This allows quick transfer.

International date line - International date line The international date line is an imaginary line that for the most part is at ±180° Longitude, but has an odd shape to pass around Russia and islands in the Pacific. It is on the side of the Earth that lies opposite the prime meridian. Its purpose is to offset the hours that are added as one travels east through each successive time zone. The first phenomenon to occur in association with the date-line problem was part of Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe.

Although readily understandable, this phenomenon caused great excitement at the time,.
