In the north, east and west of central London, the Circle Line approximately outlines Travelcard Zone 1, though in the south there is a substantial portion of the zone outside of the area enclosed by the Circle Line, and is the only line (apart from the two-stop Waterloo & City Line) that is completely contained within it. As the name implies, trains run continuously on the line. A complete journey around the line lasts approximately one hour. The Line has 27 stations and 14 miles (22.5 km) of track. There are usually quicker routes on other lines when traveling from south to north or vice versa.
