=== Station features === Stations north of Baker Street were not initially built specifically for the Jubilee line. In 1939, two new stations, St John's Wood and Swiss Cottage, were opened on the then-new Bakerloo line branch to Stanmore and have more traditional tube station features. Stations north of Finchley Road were opened by the Metropolitan Railway (now the Metropolitan line), but they became part of the Bakerloo line in 1939, with only Wembley Park being shared with the Metropolitan. In 1979, the Jubilee line took over the whole of the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line between Baker Street and Stanmore. New platforms were built for the Jubilee line at Baker Street (westbound platform; the eastbound one opened in 1939), Bond Street, Green Park and Charing Cross.

They also prevent people from falling or jumping onto the track, as well as the build-up of litter.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":4" />
