Revised and updated edition of Christian Wolmar''s classic history of the London Underground, with a new chapter on Crossrail.

''I can think of few better ways to while away those elastic periods awaiting the arrival of the next eastbound Circle Line train than by reading [this book].'' Tom Fort, Sunday Telegraph

Since the Victorian era, London''s Underground has played a vital role in the daily life of generations of Londoners. In The Subterranean Railway, Christian Wolmar celebrates the vision and determination of the nineteenth-century pioneers who made the world''s first, and still the largest, underground passenger railway: one of the most impressive engineering achievements in history. From the early days of steam to electrification, via the Underground''s contribution to twentieth-century industrial design and its role during two world wars, the story comes right up to the present with a new chapter on the sleek and futuristic Crossrail line. The Subterranean Railway reveals London''s hidden wonder in all its glory and shows how the railway beneath the streets helped create the city we know today.
