What Was the First London Underground Line

Today, the Metropolitan line is still there, stretching all the way to Amersham and Chesham. It’s the oldest, the weirdest, and the most neglected of the Tube lines. But when you ride it from Paddington to Farringdon, you’re following the exact same route those first 30,000 passengers took. The curves are the same, the stations are the same (mostly), and the tunnels are the same. The only difference is the lack of steam, the presence of Wi-Fi, and the absence of top hats. Well, mostly absent.

So next time you’re stuck on the Metropolitan line, delayed because of “signal failure,” remember: you’re riding history. You’re in a steam-powered idea that changed the world, one smoky, dark, cramped ride at a time. And if you ever complain about the heat, just imagine doing it in a wool suit and a top hat, while a steam train burps soot in your face. Suddenly, that 2-minute delay doesn’t sound so bad, does it?

Oh, and one more thing: the first London Underground line was officially called the Metropolitan Railway, but it was nicknamed “The Sewer.” I’ll let you decide which name is better.
