For reasons linked to the original construction of the railways in London it is instead served by several main Terminus stations, which form a ring around Central London and are served by different lines connected to parts of the country. Many lines split in order to serve termini in or near both the City Of London and the West End Of London , and some stations have terminal and/or through platforms with connections to other principal London railway stations. Stations on lines to different places are sometimes located near to each other, but can also be up to 4 miles (6.4 km) apart. Only one railway line passes directly through the central area without terminating. All the main stations are located in Travelcard Zone 1 , and most are managed by Network Rail , unlike most other railway stations in the United Kingdom, which are owned by Network Rail but managed by a Train Operating Company . Most stations are also a principal destination for routes which serve the London suburbs, and all have either direct or nearby connections to the London Underground network, in particular the Circle Line , which connects many of the main stations with each other. LIST OF STATIONS There are around 350 further Stations Served By National Rail In The Greater London Area , of which all can be reached from one of the main central stations. Nine of the ten busiest UK stations are in London.
