It was a public transport revolution. London had led the world in the development of a subterranean railway system. The first sub-surface lines, constructed by the cut-&-cover method, were operated with steam locomotives. In theory the tunnels & stations were ventilated into the outside air, but in practice they became dingy, miserable, smoke-filled spaces.
