Tales of the Tube

The Tube is being advertised as a very quick and convenient way to get to greyhound races at Wood Lane, London in this 1927 poster design by Alfred leete.

While Malaysians await the completion of our own underground transportation system, the Klang Valley’s MRT, another country’s system celebrates 150 years of existence.

IT is difficult to imagine London without the Tube, and it is not difficult to see why. The Tube today carries up to four million people each weekday and is an integral part of life, regardless of whether one is a resident, visitor or tourist.
