Answer 1

The London Underground was the first underground railway system in the world. It is over 140 years old. Its construction began in 1860. The system was opened in 1863 and initially was only 4 miles long (6.5 kilometers) from the west of London to the city in the east. It was not very deep and steam trains were used. Then, tunnels were built deeper and in 1890, the electric railway was opened.

They called this system the "Tube" and it is still a very popular name for the London Underground. Some of its deep stations were used for the protection during the World War. A great number of people use the underground system every day because it connects nearly all parts of this magnificent city.
