The world’s first underground railway opened in London in 1863, as a way of reducing street congestion. Here is a very short history of the Underground.
The world’s first underground railway, the Metropolitan Railway, opened in London on January 10, 1863.
The railway ran between Paddington and Farringdon, with six intermediate stations, and was built to reduce street congestion.
The Underground, as it is also known, has since expanded to 272 stations and 11 lines, stretching into the suburbs and beyond. It is considered the oldest metro system in the world and has been essential to London’s development as a world city.
