Because it’s not just a subway. It’s a living history book.
Every time you ride a train, you’re on tracks that were laid when Queen Victoria was on the throne. She actually rode the Tube once. She hated it.
You can stand on a platform and know that people in corsets and top hats stood there too. That’s wild.
A Birthday Party for a Railway
In 2013, the Tube celebrated its 150th birthday. They threw a massive party.
Steam trains ran again on the original route. People dressed up in Victorian clothes.
For one day, the future went backwards. It was brilliant and weird.
