The Metropolitan Railway
Talk
The modern railway came into being in 1825, and soon people were travelling around the country like never before. Many of these travellers arrived in London, contributing to a traffic crisis in the capital.
The solution was more railways, but this time underground.
This illustrated talk explores the early history of the Metropolitan Railway - the world's first underground railway which opened in 1863.
This talk will be taking place in person and online at the same time.
