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 Met is probably the only line, for example in 1904 a special fare from
Baker St to Rickmansworth was 2/6d single and 3/9d return. 3rd Class was
1/3d and 1/11d respectively. (Source: Metro Memories - D Edwards, R.Pilgrim
1977. I think they also ran a Pullman service but you could argue this was
really the Underground!
