The tunnels were just beneath the surface of the ground. The carriages did not have windows and were pulled by steam engines through the narrow tunnels.

He obtained ownership of the many different lines and set up the Underground Electric Railways Company of London.

5. What happened to the London Underground after World WarⅡ?
After World WarⅡ, the underground system was enlarged and more lines were added because more people travelled on the underground.
