and still going strong,
so to celebrate the birthday of London's underground railway the Royal Mail commissioned a set for the Tube’s 150th anniversary, showing the London Underground from its formative days as a steam locomotive on the Metropolitan Line, in 1863, to the opening of the Canary Wharf station in 1999, the ten stamps go on sale today,
Andrew Hammond, of Royal Mail, said: ‘after a year where images of London were beamed around the world, showing this great city in all its glory and splendour, it’s quite fitting that we should begin 2013 celebrating one of London’s hidden treasures', taken for granted by millions all I can say is Happy Birthday!
