The London Underground, or the Tube is the popular public transportation system of London. The concept for the London Underground was first proposed in the 1830 by a lawyer called Charles Pearson. However, not until 1863 was the first section of the Underground built, and opened to the public. On its opening day, it transported 38,000 passengers, and within the first year it had been used by 9.5 million passengers.
The system has been improved significantly over the past century, and now it includes twelve lines serving Greater London, operating from 5.00 a.m through to 1.00 a.m, Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, it operates a reduced service. For the passengers' convenience, the system is also interconnected with the overground train network, which links to other parts of the country outside London.
