Answer 2

The London Underground is an all-electric metro railway system in England that covers much of the conurbation of Greater London and some neighbouring areas. It is the world's oldest underground system, and is the largest in terms of route length. Service began on 10 January 1863 on the Metropolitan Railway; most of that initial route is now part of the Hammersmith & City Line. Despite its name, about 55% of the network is above ground. Popular local names include the Underground and, more colloquially, the Tube, in reference to the cylindrical shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels.

The Underground currently serves 274 stations and runs over 408 km (253 miles) of lines[1]. There are also a number of former stations and tunnels that are now closed. In 2004–2005, total passenger journeys reached a record level of 976 million, an average of 2.67 million per day.

Since 2003, the Underground has been part of Transport for London (TfL), which also administers Greater London's buses, including the famous red double-deckers, and carries out numerous other transport-related functions in the region; as London Underground Limited it was previously a subsidiary of London Regional Transport, a statutory corporation.

Answer 8

The City had a very nice station called Holborn Viaduct closed at the beginning of WWII, it was destroyed to build insignificant offices during Thatcher years, plague of public transport ! A service was created the Thameslink joining Brighton to Bedford .
I began with this story to explain why underground occured, because the early conservatives as dull as now refused the passing of the town imposing these termini like the French socialists would do in Paris.
The Liberals tried to avoid this crazy issue which provoked WWI by impeding more wealthy growth but it could not be enough.
The first attempt was a branch from Paddington to Faringdon made in 1863 but it failed to go further due to the strong opposition of corrupted narrow-minded politicians who installed the Tube lines instead of letting the trams cross the boroughs.

Answer 9

Between Paddington and Farrington St. Then called the East London Line around 1863

Answer 10

The Metropolitan line is the oldest, opened on 10th Jan 1863. The Victoria line was built much, much later.
