Can I just point out a small technical inaccuracy.... The London Underground last year celebrated its 150 year anniversary so the following statement is a little inaccurate...

"I headed onto the M1 which built in 1896 was Europe’s first subway"

Ah you're absolutely right! I misread the word "continent" in the description I was reading so I went on Continental Europe's oldest subway.

Thank you to everyone else too!
