Practical assignment: learning to read the Underground Map
In this assignment you'll learn how the Underground Map works. You're going to look at the map and do an exercise with it.
Step-by-step plan

2. On the map, you see all the different underground railroads in London. These are called lines. Every colour is a different line. On the bottom right of the map you see the names and colours of the map.
3. Make sure you can find the following lines on the map: Bakerloo, Central and Circle.
4. Now look for Paddington station. Hint: it's on the Bakerloo line.
5. Now do the exercise below.
