London Underground 150th anniversary

Did you know that the London tube was the first world's railway underground?

This January 2013, London celebrates the 150th anniversary of the first underground passanger journey, which operated between Paddington and Farringdon. A series of commemoration acts will take place on some of the best know stations and they will even recreate the first passanger journey with a steam locomotive.

Have a look at its evolution and tell us in which ways do you think it has changed and made our lives easier.
