EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the commencement of the tunnel at Kings Cross Station in April 7, 1860. At the time, Kings Cross was proposed to be a principal terminal station for the newly-intended underground railway system. The underground was deemed to be the solution for convenient travel in densely populated areas, as it would allow for efficient and frequent transportation. In its early stages, the Underground railway intended to run light trains at short intervals, in the hope that this would prevent collisions and ensure the safety of passengers. The tunnel at Kings Cross marks the beginning of this groundbreaking project, which would revolutionize the way people moved around urban areas. The Underground railway was an important innovation, as it offered a more efficient and convenient alternative to the overcrowded and congested streets of London. The construction of the tunnel at Kings Cross was a significant milestone in the history of public transportation, paving the way for the development of the extensive underground network that we know today. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the early days of the Underground railway and the determination of its creators to provide a modern and efficient transport solution for the people of London.
