Default TV Alert - The Tube: An Underground History (BBC2 tomorrow at 9PM)

The Tube: An Underground History, expected to include footage of January's steam runs, will be on BBC at 9PM this Thursday (Friday in Scotland)

"The world's first underground railway is spending its anniversary year celebrating its own history. They're sending a steam train back underground, and there's a Royal visit to prepare for. On the tube, history is everywhere - it's down every tunnel, in every tunnel, in every sign and design, and in the lives of the unsung people who built it and run it today"

More info and preview clips -http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01sjtzw

See thread started by Mizter T, and xposted by me, on Tuesday.

The Times preview said that there were some fascinating details such as that Piccadilly Line stations all have different tile-work and why.

I missed the programme. So now I will never know.

Isn't it on iPlayer? And even if not, it's bound to be repeated.

The programme was worth watching, but didn't really contain any new
information for those of us with an interest in the Tube.

My Spectrum won't take that kind of pressure.
