The London Underground (or simply the Underground or the Tube) is a public rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and parts of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. The network is considered the oldest rapid transit system, incorporating the world's first underground railway, the Metropolitan Railway, which opened in 1863 and is now part of the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines; and the first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in 1890, now part of the Northern line. The network has expanded to 11 lines, and in 2014/15 carried 1.305 billion passengers, making the Underground the world's 11th busiest metro system.
Underground most commonly refers to:
Underground may also refer to:
Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Transport is important because it enables trade between persons, which is essential for the development of civilizations.
Transport infrastructure consists of the fixed installations including roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and fuel stations) and seaports. Terminals may be used both for interchange of passengers and cargo and for maintenance.
Vehicles traveling on these networks may include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, people, helicopters, watercraft, spacecraft and aircraft. Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and the procedures set for this purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private, depending on the country and mode.
London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.

Elon Musk's Boring Company has released a computer-generated video showing a network of underground tunnels vehicles can access via elevators nested near roadsides. Once underground, the video shows futuristic silver platforms whisking the cars toward their destinations. Musk first introduced the world to his tunnel idea in December, when he got caught in one of Los Angeles' notorious traffic jams. Frustrated, he sent out a tweet promising to buy a tunnel boring machine and "just start digging."

Elon Musk started digging a tunnel under SpaceX's headquarters in LA after complaining about traffic. The billionaire has announced his latest company – the Boring Company – wants to build a series of lifts and tunnels under the city. Electric platforms will use the tunnels to transport cars on electric 'skates' – capable of travelling over 200-kilometres-per-hour. Cars will enter and leave the tunnels in a space as small as two parking spots. -------------------- Visit CEO ME at http://www.arabianbusiness.com/ceo/ Follow CEO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ceomiddleeast Like CEO on Facebook: https://twitter.com/ceomiddleeast Follow CEO on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ceomiddleeast
The New Tube will be introduced first on the Piccadilly line, followed by the Bakerloo, Central and Waterloo & City lines. Its innovative design will also allow for air-cooling for the first time on deep-level sections of the Tube. The train - designs for which are part of a new public exhibition at King's Cross St Pancras Underground station - also features improved accessibility, with step free access from the platform as well as walk-through carriages and wider doors.

It's Elon Musk's idea, but Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is trying to make this "pipe dream" a reality.

The world’s first underground railway opened in 1863 to help solve London’s traffic problems. By 1907 electricity had supersedes steam, deep tunnelling had created the ‘tube’ and the main network was established. This video charts the early achievements, the expansion which created London’s suburbs in the 1920’s and 30’s, it’s distinctive graphic design and architecture, the impact on the two wars and developments up to the present - carrying over 2,5 millions passengers daily. Experts, archive film and graphics combine to tell the unique story of the London’s Underground.

This Documentary has been uploaded for educational purposes. No copyright infringement is intended. Original programme description: On the surface, London is a buzzing metropolis. But underneath lies secret, hidden worlds, all but forgotten by the millions of people above. These places make up the countless layers of London, and each tells a unique story of the city’s past - successes and failures; victories and tragedies. When the Romans founded settlements along the River Thames during the 1st century AD, they laid down the very first layer of one of the world’s greatest cities. Long buried pieces of the original Roman town still survive to this day – statues, walls, even an entire amphitheatre, where fierce gladiators once fought…and died for glory. London has seen more than its fa...
Full journey from Wimbledon to Barking, showing all the stations and announcements. My own farewell tour! Everything comes to an end. Bye bye D78 stock!!
Within London, all London Underground, National Rail, London Overground, TfL Rail and Docklands Light Railway stations are assigned to nine fare zones. Fare zone 1 covers the central area and fare zones 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 form concentric rings around it.
This is a special 'in action' video of the London Underground, filmed at several strategic locations rich in variety for 'Underground' and 'Tube' stock used on the vast network in Greater London. The first stop is Wembley Park - served by both the Jubilee Line tube and the Metropolitan Line. After Wembley Park we see District, Circle and Piccadilly Line services at South Kensington. Next comes Liverpool Street, with Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Central Line services. After this comes Mile End, which sees District and Hammersmith & City Line trains alongside Central Line trains. Finally we see Piccadilly and Victoria Line services at Finsbury Park.
Filmed at many locations in and around Central London during Summer 2014 this is how the transport scene was looking. There is a focus on WVL's and PVL's South of the Thames aswell as the Heritage route 9 operated by Routemasters.
