The first underground lines were in 1863. That's the mid 19th century. The first deep level train (what's actually the Tube) was the City & South London Railway, opened in 1890 (late 19th century). Check yo fax.
> it’s difficult to stand in most of its trains
Not unless you're like 6' 6" (and thus taller than 99.5% of males).

- claudius 13y ago> > late 18th and early 19th century > opened in 1890 (late 19th century). Check yo fax. HN, of all communities, should be familiar with off-by-one errors. My apologies for the confusion; you are right, I was referring to the late 19th and early 20th century.
