History of the world's first subway
For the first time, the idea of ​​taking the trains from the underground was proposed by Charles Pearson, the lawyer of the City of London in 1845. When it is considered that the first steam train in public transport is used in 1830 in the UK, it can be said that it is a very early time for the same service to be given underground.
In the beginning, Pearson, whose thoughts were reacted, succeeded in getting the subway project, which he described as 'trains going through water channels', in the House of Commons in 1853. Finally, the construction of the world's first subway line began in London in March 1860. The 'Metropolitan Railway' between Paddington and Farringdon Street, which made history as the world's first subway, was opened on January 10, 1863.
It is known that subway engineers started excavations under the ground by starting from the system of progression of bedbugs and formed the metro line by supporting the continuous side walls and ceilings of small and simple tunnels.
Today, the London Metro, which has a total length of 402 kilometers, serves with the 270 station. With approximately 10 million pounds of advanced drilling machines, new stations are opened almost every year and the metro lines are extended according to the speed of development of the city.
