The first underground line ran between Paddington and Farringdon. This was not a tube line as it ran just below the surface. However Baker Street would be on this line. The first tube tunnel was from the Tower of London to Bermondsey. Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City lines are not part of the tube. Tube tunnels are bored rather that dug.

Baker St tube station of one of the first to open, one of the others was Waterloo. The Bakerloo was one of the first Tube lines but the Metropolitan and District (cut & cover) underground lines had been running for many years.

The first tube train ran from Baker Street to Farrington in the city, but at that time in the 1860s they were steam and the passengers sat in open wagons, not recommended for today's traveler.

The tube trains ran like buses....you simply pressed a button when you thought you might be under your chosen destination, the tube stopped and you decamped onto the side of the track and hacked your way to the surface. The tube behind would then be "unavoidably delayed" while bodies were cleared from the line. Isn't that where they got the game Lemmings from?

Wow. Thumbs up for a great question! I can't wait to hear the answer. I guess I assumed (wrongly) that the other would be the Waterloo station so it would be the Baker to Loo line. Oh the stupid things we wonder about while sitting on the tube.

The trains ran westwards, along the route still used by the Metropolitan line, towards Harrow. They were underground (sort-of) at Baker Street, but came out of the tunnel almost immediately, just like they do now.

The answer i believe is: The station was the first to open, but no trains ran until another one opened, then it was a shuttle. I know nothing about England, but that's what it is in Boston with Park St. and Boylston and I would guess it's the same there.

The first section of the Metropolitan Railway opened between Farringdon Street (located slightly North-West of the present Farringdon Station) and Paddington (Bishop's Bridge) on the 10th of January 1863.

Get a 'Saver go back plus Zone U1' Rail value ticket, shuttle after 09.30 (grab a espresso) on Southern Trains (specify or you will pay £10 more desirable) and shuttle to Victoria Station. From there you may take the tube to Baker highway with no longer too a lot difficulty (Circle Line to Baker highway ( short flight of steps into underground, then yet another short flight right down to platform and at different end 2 flights of steps as a lot as floor)) this supplies a a million month go back vacation. Or if you are making plans to shuttle round on the practice community attempt to get a Brit Rail bypass out of your shuttle brokers. employ vehicle and stress is wonderful except will take between 2 and three hours to get too Baker highway area, except the inn has a carpark you may want to might want to be a resident to highway park, plus pay the London Congestion charge besides and could be very stressfull. in case you opt for practice and do not favor to apply the Underground, a taxi will value you about £15 - £20 to get from Victoria to Baker highway. Have an outstanding time over the following, be waiting for any climate as may is changeable.

That is a very good point.
But I suspect that they didn't run anywhere. Nothing changes eh!
