FULL STEAM AHEAD. LONDON UNDERGROUND'S 150th ANNIVERSARY.


9 January is the 150th anniversary of the world's first underground urban railway, which officially opened in the British capital between Paddington and Farringdon on 9 January 1863. The former Metropolitan Railway carried its first passengers the following day in steam-hauled trains and the line, now electrified still carries London commuters today.
