I know this sounds like a ridiculous idea, but considering we have class
segregation on the mainline and suburban trains in the UK (First and
Standard), has/was there ever an idea to have First and Standard seating on
the underground network? When the underground was first built, was there
ever class segregation or have the toffs always had to mix with the
riff-raff on the underground?

The Metroplitan and District Railways definitely had different classes of
carriage on opening, but all the (limited) info I have suggests the 'tube
lines' from the C&SLR onwards, only had a single class.
