To Metro-land! - Paperback

by Caroline Jordan (Author)

The London Underground's Metropolitan Line- a public transportation marvel wrapped in contradiction after contradiction. A subway line...that lives mostly aboveground. A public transport system...that acts more as a private railway line. Metropolitan....but ferrying commuters to the countryside. 'To Metroland!' explores the history of this particular branch of London's public transit system and takes you aboard the strange, contradictory thing that is the Metropolitan line--there and back again.
