A Grand Entrance

London's Underground was 150 years old today - tho I did read the first actual fair paying passengers rode the tube on th 10th January.... But why quibble over a day...

And following @boxplayer's thread to take a pic on the tube to mark the occasion http://365project.org/discuss/general/15785/celebrate-london-underground-s-birthday#post-reply I thought I'd get myself over to Canary Wharf this lunchtime to snap the station's fantastic entrance..

Bank station had some great images on the screens beside the escalators of commuters from days gone by. I love the Underground:)

Canary Wharf station is a great bit of architecture.

Yes that's right about the days - some confusion on the web as to which day LT were using for the commemoration - but yesterday was the anniversary of the first journey and the day after, they did it with real passengers.

btw I see you're getting good results with your PEN. Am thinking about upgrading my EPL1 to the new EPL5. Bit pricey mind you.
