Scavenger Hunt: Task #2

The tube in London is the oldest metro system in the world! It has been around since 1863, way before air conditioners were around! The tube system really is an amazing way to get around, much more efficient than any other form of transportation! Having taken full advantage of the tube system, It is safe to say that it can get pretty warm because there currently isn't any form of air conditioning, except for when the trains come whooshing by you!
This is the inside of the tube station on Goodge St.
Waiting for the Northern Line.












This is the map of all the lines that run throughout the Tube.

Luckily, Next year the tube is set to start running trains with air conditioning to make the ride more comfortable for the passengers! This is really a big development for the underground transportation system in London! The first of these trains is set to start running on the Metropolitan Line, and then next they will be added to the Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City Lines.

This is a Picture of the newly air
conditioned trains coming next
Summer!
