London subway: British workers who show their experience in mining business in subway construction as well. The wagons were made of wood… It would be better to call it "underground train". The first line was a 6 km railway and went public on January 10, 1863.
38.000 passenger transport on the opening day was described as a success.
Electrical underground railways (1900-1908) began to lay between.
1863 is the world's oldest underground transportation system. The London Underground is also the first line of electric trains in the world.
Today, there are 270 stations in total in London Underground. The total length of all lines is 400 kilometers. Today, there are around 140 metro systems in the world, and the largest is the Shanghai metro.
One last touch; The London Underground tunnels were used as a refuge during the Second World War.
