London Underground
January 2013 marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of the first London tube line. When I first got on the tube was 1999. I was a bit scared, because someone tried to pickpocket from my friend's backpack in a crowded train.
The most impressive thing was a wooden escalator, but I don't remember which station it was. It was the first time and the last time to see a wooden escalator. They were gradually removed for safety reasons. There was a fire on 18 November 1987 at the King's Cross, the fire started on an escalator. The fire killed 31 people. Only one remained at Greenford as of 2013, but probably it has already removed. It can't be avoided, but that's shame.
