This intriguing image from the early 1900s captures a groundbreaking experiment aimed at combating the stuffiness of the London Underground tunnels. The Central London Railway Company, in an effort to improve the riding experience for commuters, proposed an innovative solution: spraying the tunnels every night to import moisture and combat the dryness of the air. The year was 1907, and the Central London Railway Company was at the forefront of technological advancements in public transportation. This experiment, a first of its kind, was a significant step towards ensuring a more comfortable journey for the growing number of commuters relying on the Underground.

The success of this experiment would pave the way for future advancements in maintaining the air quality and comfort of the London Underground. This historical image is a testament to the ingenuity and commitment of the Central London Railway Company to provide the best possible experience for its passengers.
