伦敦地铁(London Underground)直译就是“地下的东西”,这样的用词谴句当中有一种不言而喻的权威意味。好像是说:提到伦敦的地下,除了地铁,你还能联想到什么?
它是世界上第一条地下铁道。总长超过400千米。1856年开始修建,1863年1月10日正式投入运营。它长约7.6千米,隧道横断面高5.18米、宽8.69米,为单拱形砖砌结构。当时是以蒸汽机车牵引列车。1890年又建成一条地下铁道,长5.2千米,隧道为圆形,内径3.10~3.20米,铸铁管片衬砌。用电力机车牵引列车,为世界上第一条电气化地铁。现在英国伦敦地铁列车通过第三轨供直流电,电压为600伏。列车运行速度约32千米/小时,最大时速达96千米。伦敦地铁于1971年开始在维多利亚线区应用遥控和计算机技术操纵列车。
伦敦地铁在战争时期曾被用作地下掩体。二战期间,每晚平均有6万居民进入隧道,最多时达17.7万余人。
