I believe the district line was the first underground line to be launched

[SMALTV]

@HLD77777 Them lines never existed back then-it was something like the Baker Street & Euston line

@SMALTV As you say - the line under Trafalgar Square had a different name back then - but then they do change the names of lines and stations from time to time. What happened the "The Strand" station?

@HLD77777 the first underground line ran from Paddington to King's Cross via Baker Street surely. The dug up the street outside Baker Street and put the first underground line down in that position and then basically covered it over.

Always pleased to see a member of the public blatantly filming on London Underground property. I am so sick of them giving their orders out about how people are not permitted to film/take photographs on tube stations, so I applaud anyone who does it - just to stick it in their faces.

Some nice staff at Charing Cross though, particularly a man called John Poole.

If you are polite enough someone may show you down to the old platforms 3-4 which are no longer used.

@LordHeath1972 Yes I will try that - thanks.
