Unusually for a rail connoisseur, I have never thought of the history of the tube before, possibly because all the time I'm on it, I either have my hands in my pocket or grasping tightly to a bag :-)<br /><br />With regards to tunnels, railways etc ...

Pleased you are interested in The Tube and it's history.<br />I'm not sure if you are aware but my son is a station supervisor for London Underground in Central London. As you can imagine he has a very stressful job. I wouldn't do his job for all the tea in China!Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.com
