Used extensively and somewhat taken for granted by millions of commuters and tourists every day, the London Underground has long been a part of our national heritage and way of life. The 'Tube' was the first underground railway in the world and now is central to a London way of life. Here Ben Pedroche explores the realities of building the railway from the beginning, exploring this dangerous, back-breaking job and how it culminated in the rail system we see today. He works his way through the construction and working history of this iconic system, until reaching modern day, when he interviews modern Tube workers and details their real-life experience down in the Tube. Backed up with sixty stunning archive and modern photographs, this is a book that no railway or Tube enthusiast can do without.
