    A punchy, quick-fire history of the Metropolitan line. This is where it all began. The Metropolitan Railway opened from Paddington to Farringdon in 1863 becoming not only London's but also the world's first underground passenger railway.
    However, in the first of its many contradictions, the Metropolitan was also an immediate and runaway success: 30,000 people used the line on its first day and 11.8 million in its first year. Profits were spectacular: £102,000 in year one with a generous dividend of 6.25 per cent. The future was popular, and it paid.
    1897: Various extensions to the line have opened over the past few years, reaching Pinner (1885), Chesham (1889) and Aylesbury (1892). In this year, the Metropolitan reaches its north-western extreme at Verney Junction — a staggering 50 miles from Baker Street and about as far out of London as Oxford.
    2023: The Metropolitan line celebrates its 160th birthday with heritage train rides and a heart-shaped roundel for Baker Street — a station whose original platforms have changed little since 1863. From the first shovel of dirt to the 160th anniversary.
