A treasure trove of surprises. In this video, lets get to the bottom of it all with m gab. Again, thats spokeswoman for the transport for london authority. Theres so much that makes the to buy conic. Every time i take a journey on the to something about it makes me smile. Parents originally from philadelphia in the usa, and shes been a to send since her 1st visit to london. Shes been working for transport for london or t, f, l for short. Since 2012, the, the Maiden Voyage took place on january 10th, 1863. Back then Steam Powered locomotives pulled the gas lead carriages through the tunnels. In the beginning they were only barely under the ground. A welcome to baker street station. Its one of the oldest stations on our network. It was opened in 18. 63 as part of the original root of the metropolitan railway, the old list metro system in the world. The metropolitan railway, originally at 7 stations running from paddington to ferrying didnt baker street was one of them. And these platforms were restored in the 1980s to look like they were in 18. 63, although its officially called the london underground. Only 45 percent of the line actually runs under ground. Outside the inner city in particular, trains run above the ground. The deepest ation is located in the shilling north of the city. At hampstead station, the tracks are 55. 2 meters down. This is by no means a world record, are sonoma, and t, a few crane is the deepest underground station in the world. Its a 105. 00 and a half meters below ground. The the root map design has been copied by many of the worlds underground systems. The special thing about this map is that its not based on the actual root or distances. It was originally designed in the 19th thirties by an electrical draftsman named harry beck. So harry back came up with this map and he actually experienced a lot of resistance. And it took the underground 2 years to kind of except its, they ended up using it. And now it is an icon the, these old map show the actual route to the london to. And its often very curvy. The underground was stopped the tube because of the shape of its tunnels. This smith named stems from around 1890. The tracks were laid to follow the roads curving overhead. And since the carriages are long and straight, this created some dangerous gaps. These are especially large at the bank minute station. The famous, automatic warning mines of the gap was sounded here for the 1st time in 1969 he. Ringback equally famous is the logo known as round old 1st installed at saint jamess park station in 19 o 8 to help people find their way. The round will and mind the gap are very popular souvenir slogans. So a couple things you should remember when youre writing the 2, you want to use voice or contactless rather than a paper ticket. Oyster contact list, its just a better value and it means you dont have to stay on the line. You can simply just tap and go. You want to stand on the right and walk on the left. When youre using an escalator, make sure you hold the hand rail. Be conscious of other people because were all trying to move through the station and dont make eye contact with people dont talk to people. My dad is from the united states, hes a friendly guy. He will talk to people on the train and we have to say no, not here, just people, people have their b time, their space. Ok. So were coming out here on the station. If you look up, youll see theres a big green pipe across the station. And that is actually where weve got one of the last rivers of london, the river west one. And thats one of the great see for its a floating square station. Im so a lot of people dont know that were actually a guest kind of underwater epis station when were standing on the platforms here. And if you look closely, you might notice that this station used to have a roof. It was destroyed 5 bombs and world war 2. I really just want people to know that every tube station has Something Special and interesting about it. If you keep your eyes open, theyre going to be things that you notice on which make your journey interesting and special when you just have to keep an eye out for them.
