Otherwise, which entity is celebrating its 150th anniversary?
If you only include the Met, then even the original 1863 route
isn't all part of the current Met line

Central Line were first operated in 1856.

Or perhaps you would prefer it to be 1858, the start date of service over
part of the Hammersmith and City?
