ISBN: 1848872534
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Since the Victorian era, London's Underground has had played a vital role in the daily life of generations of Londoners.

From the early days of steam to electrification, via the Underground's contribution to 20th-century industrial design and its role during two world wars, the story comes right up to the present with its sleek, driverless trains, and the wrangles over the future of the system. This book reveals London's hidden wonder in all its glory, and shows how the railway beneath the streets helped create the city we know today.
