Why is the Victoria Line so hot? What is an Electrical Multiple Unit?
Is it really possible to ride from King's Cross to King's Cross on the
Circle line?
The London Underground is the oldest, most sprawling and illogical
metropolitan transport system in the world, the result of a series of
botch-jobs and improvisations.Yet it transports over one billion
passengers every year - and this figure is rising. It is iconic,
recognised the world over, and loved and despised by Londoners in
equal measure.
Blending reportage, humour and personal encounters, Andrew Martin
embarks on a wonderfully engaging social history of London's
underground railway system (which despite its name, is in fact
fifty-five per cent overground). _Underground, Overground_ is a highly
enjoyable, witty and informative history of everything you need to
know about the Tube.
