The London Underground wAs started in January 1863, originally known as the Metropolitan Railway. In 1981 the fare structure became zonal with equal fares within a zone and a greater one when covering more than one zone. Watching the crowd of passengers moving through a station from above can resemble a shoal of fish swimming along. The station superintendent liked to see the place look attractive so he planted a load of flowering bedding plants of the viola family. To his surprise the plants thrived in the artificial light of the station.
