Wolmar's book will tell you, too, why the
Underground, like black cabs, barely ventures south of the river.

Do tell us. We have been wondering!

I wish I had seen the Brussels tram-subway while it still was that. A wholly
different approach to underground transport, and probably much cheaper.

Wolamr is actually quite a broad author, he has also written a book on sexual
abuse in children's homes.
