DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PIONEERING ENGINEERS, DODGY FINANCIERS & DESIGN GURUS WHO SHAPED 150 Yrs.' OF THE LONDON UNDERGROUND? No! FIND OUT Weds 6th Feb @ 18.30 (coffee/tea from 18:00) @ 37 Caledonian Rd, Kings Cross, London, N19BU Abstract: The Underground is the life-blood of London. It carries four million passengers each day and enables residents, workers and visitors to go about their daily professional and social lives. Over 150 years, the London Underground has expanded with the capital city and has facilitated its commercial and residential growth. The talk will trace the history of the Underground from its opening in 1863 to its 150th anniversary in 2013 (which year saw the operation of special steam trains over the earliest section of line between Paddington and Farringdon). On this historical journey we will met ground-breaking engineers; dodgy American financiers; design gurus; far-sighted planners and administrators; and (inevitably) the politicians. All have shaped the Underground's fascinating story. Lectures held at Institute of Physics HQ, 37 Caledonian Road, London, N1 9BU. Refreshments are served from 6pm on the day of the lecture.
