EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of the interior of an electric underground train on London's City Line, taken in the year 1894. This photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of the London Underground, which at the time, was still in its infancy. The City Line originally ran from City (now Bank) to Stockwell, passing through Borough, Elephant & Castle, Kennington, and Oval. The train's interior is adorned with upholstered seats, providing a level of comfort for passengers during their journey. The curved design of the train's walls and rounded corners create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere, a stark contrast to the harsh industrial surroundings of the railway. The use of electric power is evident in the train's lighting and the overhead wires that can be seen through the windows. The City Line, now part of the Northern Line, was a significant addition to London's transport network during the late 1800s. Its opening marked a turning point in the city's transportation history, paving the way for the extensive underground network that we know today. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Victorian era, showcasing the early days of London's iconic underground railway system.
