Video Listening: How the world's first metro system was built
The building of subway systems, often known as metros, should be viewed in the wider context of the development of railroads across the world. Until then, no one had travelled faster than a galloping horse.
In 1863 London was thinking about opening its subway system — the first of its kind in the world — and most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today's money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.
