Looking at the history of the tube, the vast majority of it was
built between 1890 and the first world war. Obviously this was all
entrepreneurs, capitalists that produced the finest public
transport system of its day.

Whats happened since the end of the second world war? Nothing.
Thanks to centralisation, lack of competition and general
socialist policy.

********. There's been the Victoria line, the Jubilee line, the DLR,
new stations and interchanges (e.g. c2c stop at West Ham) and I'm sure
there are other things I haven't heard of.

There's also the point that the first tubes were built at a time when
there was almost nothing. I saw a post earlier today where someone made
the point that there was more railway building in the early years of
the 20th century than in the past 50 years. What a silly thing to point
out. 50 years ago there was already quite a large tube network whereas
a hundred years ago there was practically nothing. Of course more was
built then when there was nothing in existence.

It makes me sick.

Perhaps your one of those people who desperately looks for things to be
sick about, and if nothing reasonable is available then makes something
up.
