6. •The first underground railway in the world, which opened
in 1863 and now forms part of the Circle, Hammersmith &
City and Metropolitan lines, and the first line to operate
underground electric trains, in 1890, now part of the
Northern line.
•The Central London Railway was built this way and known
as the "two penny tube" when opened in 1900.
• The world's first underground railway, it opened in
January 1863 between Paddington and Farringdon using
gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives.

8. • World War I delayed construction and
trains reached Watford Junction in 1917.
During air raids in 1915 people used the
tube stations as shelters. An extension of
the Central line east to Ealing was also
delayed by the war and completed in
1920.
• World War II suspended these plans
after the Bakerloo line had reached
Stanmore and the Northern line High
Barnet and Mill Hill East in 1941. During
the war many tube stations were used as
air-raid shelters. Following bombing in
1940 passenger services over the West
London Line were suspended, leaving
Olympia exhibition centre without a railway
service until a District line shuttle from
Earl's Court began after the war. After
work restarted on the Central line
extensions in east and west London, these
were complete in 1949.

9. The underground serves
270 stations.
London Underground's
eleven lines total 250
miles (402 km) in length,
making it the fourth
longest metro system in
the world.
The lines are electrified
with a four-rail DC
system.
