London Subway 'Near1y Size of

I l

Canada's first subway openrlny Toronto March 30. Here's I story 5 about the. world's oldest and larg- test underground system.

ny RON EVAN!

LONDON. 1013') -- London's

"tube." the 91-year-old ”gi-andaddy" of the world's subway systems. is still growing. The bright red trains now roar along 286 miles of track, largely underground, to service a city and suburban area of 2.000 square miles -only a little smaller than Prince Edward Island

Since the Second World War. 35 miles have been added to the world's lamest subway system and lplaiis call for another 80 miles at an estimated cost of itl14.000,000. l But directors of the government- owned London Transport executive are more concerned with improv- lng rather than extending a ser- vice used by almost 600000.000 passengers annually. Canadian vis- itors wonder how it can be donsl when the present system. whlchl served as a model for those in Glasgow, Moscow. Stockholm. Copenhagen and Istanbul. Whisks them to any part. of the city in a matter of minutes - and in comfort 100.

Here's how it works:

The tube traveller enters one of 277 stations scattered throughout the metropolitan area and pur- chases his ticket from a vending machine, which automatically pro- vides change. or from one of sev- eral wickets. Line-ups at the ticket windows rarely run to more than four or rive persons except at teeming centres such as Picca- dilly.

High-speed escalators and ele- vators take passengers to plat- forms It many stations. The esca- lators run at about 150 feet a min- ute and can handle 10,000 persons an hour. The longest escalator. at Leicester Square. drops 80 feet while the Hampsu-ad station ele- vator falls 192 feet below street level.

On the platform, the pauenger probably waits three or four min- utes. It he's travelling at a busy hour and from a main down-town station, the chances are heiil catch a. train in less than 90 seconds.

Six-Coach iTrIln

Most Iraiiis comprise six coach- es, each seating 40 to 48 passen- gers. The latest. have fluorescent. lighting. wide windows and scarlet upholsn-ry, patterned with the iainiliar LT bar-and-circle symbol. ;Smokin:z is permitted in some - coaches.

l All dmrs are sir-operated and i

.auIomatic. In wet weather they ,can be. switched over in manual. (push-button control so that only a few need be opened at suburban surface stations.

Trains on- all six main lines'and the numerous branches run at an average speed of 20 miles an hour and reach that rate. in 17 seconds from a standing start.

Most passengers make one or more changes during s single trip -statistics show the average jour- ney la 5”. miles long and takes it minuier-but the single ticket takes them all the way and is not surrendered until tho but station. Switches from one line to another can be made. at. 18 Intcrchange stations in central London.

Part of the continuing Improve- ment. program is taken up with repairing and renovating old sta- tions. Some opened in loss. when the world's first subway was bur- rowed four miles from Paddington lo Farringixin street, are lrtlll in

All stations are of the same functional design. although no two are exactly alike. in mint Lon- don they are either of multi-ool- ored or tan brick and within tho central area. the walls are or pol- ished granllo to shoulder height uid portland swno above.

The biggest chunk, about 55 per cent. is xpcnt on start which totals 73.474, including 10,590 women. About one-quarter are employed on the underground.

Revenue figures also are un-p available but It is known that some 40 ions of coins are collected each day.

London Transports proudest claim is its underground safety re- cord. only one in every 240,000 passengers ever suffers Injury, al- though the system runs up an an- nual miieage of 215,000,000.

Ghe Crow and the

A THIRSTY CROW found a Pitcher with some water in it, but so little was there that. try as she might. she could not reach it with her beak, and it seemed as though she would die of thirst within sight of the remedy. At last she hit upon a clever plan. She began dropping pebbles into the Pitcher. and with each pebble the water rose a little higher until at last it reached the brim. and the knowing bird was enabled to quench her thirst.
