Not quite accurate to describe it as 150 years since the first London Tube journey. The Metropolitan was (is) subsurface rather than deep level tube line but I wouldn't mind being at that celebration in January. Will any tickets appear on ebay?

I was nearly able to get a ticket for that - they were like hen's teeth but I thought I had a contact.... next time!

Caught the 2nd half hour of this, was excellent. Got to see some of my old haunts too, especially around the lovely Highgate.
