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.
