London - by Nigel A. JAMES
The London
Underground
The London Underground is the oldest underground railway in the world. It was opened in
1863, and in 2013 it was 150 years old. The Londoners call it the tube.
The tube has 270 stations and 11 lines. The lines are not numbered;
they have colours and names instead. The oldest line is the Hammersmith and city line which is yellow
and red; and the newest is the Victoria line which is purple. The entire network is 402
kilometres long.
The tube is used by more than 3 million people every
day. It is the most popular way of getting
around London. It’s fast, cheap, clean and reliable. London
is waiting for you!
