GOING UNDERGROUND

1 Look at the map and read the text. Then answer questions 1–8.

1 How old is the London Underground?

2 Are there any other metro systems in the world which are busier, longer or

older than the London Tube? If so, which ones?

3 Why did Harry Beck not draw the real distances between stations on his

Tube map?

4 What other function for Tube stations is mentioned in the text?

5 How many lines do you have to take to go from Covent Garden to the

station with Europe’s longest escalator?

6 Which type of animal can you ﬁ nd on the Tube? How many of them are there?

7 There are two ghosts living in the longest line in the Tube. What’s the name of

the line and what colour is it on the map?

Glossary escalator line logo Mind the gap! passenger

platform railway rucksack rush hour shelter single ticket

2 Work in pairs. Which things in the text do you find most surprising? Why?

3 CD4.32 In pairs, read the Dos and Don’ts and say why you think they’re good advice.

Then listen and check.
