... because the first official journey took place on January 9th, 1863. But here's an amazing image of possibly the actual first journey in 1862. More info about the picture HERE.
And here are 150 fascinating facts about the Tube.

Decent images of what the new bridge currently under construction at Marlborough Street will actually look like seem oddly hard to come by. This is the best I can find, showing the bridge with the Luas crossing it. The bridge will be open only to pedestrians and public transport, but it's main purpose is to facilitate the long overdue joining of the Luas Red and Green lines. It's not a terribly exciting design, but it has a clean simplicity, and seeing the Luas cross the liffey so many years after the old trams stopped crossing it, will be wonderful. Of course still no decision has been made on what the bridge will be called.

Apparently coming within a hair's breath of a horrible death is nothing to get over excited about in Russia. Nobody makes a peep. Just a resigned sigh and a manly head-clasp.
yikes!

As it says in the video info:
For the best experience, watch it with headphones.
Shot within a couple hours on a sunny Saturday afternoon, "Bending Sounds" is a test/experiment to capture the inspirational sounds and visuals of the NYC subway.

After Tube Crush and Subway Crush, here's LUAS Crush (and DART and Suburban Lines Crush?). Well, at least the lighting should be better.

I wish he'd told me. I'd have got him to pick me up some things. Though it looks like he was busy anyway.

Paris was the first city to introduce a free bike scheme (or at least, the first major city anyway) and the success of that scheme led to it being copied all over, including Dublin's own very successful one. Now Paris is to introduce a similar scheme with electric cars.
Next Autumn will see the launch of the Autolib scheme with 3,000 bubble-shaped, battery-powered cars stationed at 1,000 self-service hire points across the city and its suburbs. Autolib drivers will need a full driving licence and will have to subscribe to the scheme for €12 a month. After that they will pay €5 for the first half an hour, €4 for the next and €6 for each subsequent 30-minute slot, encouraging short trips.

I've posted some of these oddly relaxing films from Noregian TV of Norwegian train journeys before, but the latest one is in 3D, so if you have a pair of 3D glasses lying around and a spare seven and a half hours, you can go on the whole journey from Bergen to Hønefoss. Here's part one, and if you are unemployed and really stoned you can click through to YouTube for the rest of the journey. Wrap up warm!

After the stunning success of the free bike scheme, Dublin City Cuncil has announced today that the scheme is to be expanded, spreading further across the city with ten times the number of bikes.
The scheme has become by far the most successful free bike scheme in the world with uptake far outstripping expectations. Daily trips are roughly 30 times those of Melbourne, for example, which has a similarly sized scheme, and while Paris had three thousand bikes stolen in the first year, Dublin has had only two, and both of those were recovered.
