Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 16, 2023 Subscriber Posted January 16, 2023 While you’re whizzing underneath Westminster on your way to work, or jumping on the Jubilee line for a few stops to meet a friend, do you ever pause and remember that you’re travelling on the oldest transport network in the world? It’s wild to think that, back on January 10 1863, Londoners hopped on the world’s first underground railway – the Metropolitan Railway – from Paddington to Farringdon. Back then, it was powered by steam and only had seven stops, including Paddington (Bishop’s Road), Edgware Road, Baker Street, Portland Road (now Great Portland Street), Gower Street (now Euston Square), King’s Cross (now King’s Cross St Pancras) and Farringdon Street (now Farringdon). Now, the London Underground serves 272 stations on 11 lines. Revisit some of the landmark moments in the Tube’s 160-year history. 1863 The London Underground opens as the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon as a way of reducing street congestion 1890 With the opening of the City and South London Railway, the Underground becomes the world’s first deep-level Tube service powered by electricity 1915 Maida Vale opens, staffed entirely by women 1933 All of London’s public transport comes under public ownership and Harry Beck produces the now-iconic Tube map 1979 The Jubilee line opens, which required careful tunnelling beneath central London 2003 The first Oyster card is tapped. Fun fact, the name is inspired by the security and value of the cards being like the hard shell and concealed pearl 2016 One for the night owls: all-night weekend services begin! 2020 TfL Go, the nifty app that helps countless Londoners plan their trips based on TfL data, is introduced, allowing them to check their journeys in real time on the move 2021 The Northern line is extended to Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms 2023 Bank station will complete its major upgrade in early 2023, increasing capacity by 40 percent https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/celebrate-the-tubes-160th-birthday-with-an-epic-treasure-hunt?fbclid=IwAR0qI2c2CIdgGIgBa2ewvHovmuZ_HZuFO4TeBMEorX4bIeBS8eBe_PwpcJ4 Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted January 20, 2023 Subscriber Posted January 20, 2023 Quote Edinburgh greengrocers ‘trapped in time’ with till and cabinets from another age In keeping with the nostalgic feel of the retail unit is full of old-school items. Aside from the till, images show old wooden shelves that you can picture fresh fruit and vegetables lying on. A greengrocers frozen in time has gone on the market in Edinburgh boasting authentic features from times gone by. Packed with vintage fixtures and fittings, the former shop is located in the affluent area of Colinton on Bridge Road. The property comprises a ground floor, self-contained retail unit and back shop. A pre-digital till takes pride of place behind the counter of the food store - while the colour scheme inside is from another age. Perched on the old-wooden shelves, the till still has original keys, nobs and buttons intact, looking straight from a period drama. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-greengrocers-trapped-time-till-26029467?fbclid=IwAR2hxjJ5g-2awhLtiOimlfE2UtsHHbaw5HPw4ItRYuGtABnU2eOPNF_TEjU Quote
