Underground, Overground: A Passenger`s History of the Tube

Underground, Overground: A Passenger`s History of the Tube by Andrew Martin blends reportage, humour and personal encounters to provide an engaging social history of London’™s Underground system which, despite its name, is in fact 55 per cent overground. Drawing on a lifelong interest in the subject, the author ‘“ a journalist and novelist who lives in North London, shows how London made the Underground and the Underground made London. He introduces the men ‘“ seldom normal ‘“ who tried to control the system and relates the definitive, apparently, account of that much loved announcement ‘œMind The Gap.” The book provides a more in-depth companion to the huge range of photo books covering the history of the network and/or reproducing its famous diagrammatic maps and posters.
