Day 218. Just three and a half miles.


150 years ago, on January 9th 1863, the first tube journey took place between Paddington and Farringdon, a journey of 3.5 miles beneath the streets of London. In the first six months approximately 26,000 passengers a day used the service. There are a number of installations around Kings Cross marking the 150th anniversary, this one is particularly striking.
