~ London Underground is more than just a
~ railway. lts logo and map are two of London's
most famous symbols, and it's one of the first things
that people associate with the city.
The Tube, as Londoners call it, opened in 1863,
and is the oldest underground railway in the world.
lt's also the world's longest; on the Central Line you
can travel 54 kilometres without changing trains!
However, Beijing's underground will be longer when
it's finished in 2020.
The Tube isn't only long - it's also very busy. Every
day, people make about 3 million journeys. Ali those
passengers generate a lot of rubbish, so at night an
army of workers, called fluffers, clean the stations
and the tunnels.
Because they work in the tunnels at night, fluffers
see the Tube's ghost stations. These old stations
are now closed. And near a ghost station called
Aldwych, sorne fluffers say they see the ghost of an
actress. This is perhaps because Aldwych is on the
site of an old theatre. Fortunately, she's not there in
the morning when passengers return!
