of being the oldest and most complex underground system in the world. rail services to london were first developed during the first half of the 19th century. however, most trains to london only went to the outer city limits, because building railway tracks into the city would have damaged many old buildings. horsedrawn buses, trams, cabs and carriages were used to convey people to and around the city centre. unfortunately, the number of vehicles on the road caused unbelievable traffic jams, and the roads became so busy that no one could travel anywhere. this traffic problem led to the development of the underground system.in 1854, the british government gave approval to the construction by the metropolitan railway company of an underground railway in the centre of london, between paddington and farringdon, via kings cross, st pancras and euston. however, new trains had to be developed and the plan required raising a large amount of money, so the digging was postponed until 1860. the initial tunnels were opened in 1863 and were just beneath the surface of the ground. passengers were transported in carriages without windows, which were pulled through the narrow tunnels by steam engines. in 1868, the next section of the underground system was opened in the south of london by another company called the metropolitan district railway. sixteen years later, in 1884, the metropolitan railway company and the metropolitan district railway linked up and provided underground service in the middle of the city. this later became the circle line. because of the smoke from the steam engines, early underground lines needed large holes leading to the surface at regular intervals, so that people could get fresh air and would not choke.as better ways for digging tunnels were developed, the first railway tunnel under the river thames was dug in 1884. these new ways of digging accelerated the pace of the london undergrounds development. the city and south london railway opened the first electric underground railway in 1890. over the next twentyfive years, six independent deep underground lines were constructed. travelling on these lines was not convenient, though, as each line was possessed by a different company, and many were very far from each other.having seen the situation, a wealthy american businessman, charles yerkes, undertook the job of improving the system in 1902 by obtaining ownership of the many different lines and setting up the underground electric railways company of london. in 1933, a public organization called the london passenger transport board was created. the underground electric railways company of london, the metropolitan line and all the different bus and train lines were placed under the authority of the board. this organization eventually became london transport. between 1918 and 1938, many new stations were constructed, the most famous of which were designed by an architect named charles holden.the underground system had some unusual uses during world war . when london was bombed, many underground stations functioned as bomb shelters. a new line was used as an underground airplane factory, an underground station was used as a centre for directing the defence against air attacks, and the station nearest the prime ministers house was used by the prime minister as meeting rooms for administration of government.after world war ended in 1945, more people travelled on the underground, so the system was enlarged and more lines were added, including the victoria line, which was linked with other lines at almost every station. this helped make the system more userfriendly. the last line added was the jubilee line, which was opened in 1979 in honour of the twentyfifth anniversary of elizabeth becoming the queen.the london underground system is working to transport huge numbers of people as it has done for many years. over three million people travel on the underground every day. the network of the underground system includes twelve lines and now goes twentysix miles out of central london. so, why not take a trip on the oldest underground system today?
