Subway South City Mall — Restaurant in Kolkata

The first subway system was proposed for London by Charles Pearson, a city solicitor, as part of a city-improvement plan shortly after the opening of the Thames Tunnel in 1843. After 10 years of discussion, Parliament authorized the construction of 3.75 miles (6 km) of underground railway between Farringdon Street and Bishop’s Road, Paddington. Work on the Metropolitan Railway began in 1860 by cut-and-cover methods—that is, by making trenches along the streets, giving them brick sides, providing girders or a brick arch for the roof, and then restoring the roadway on top. On January 10, 1863, the line was opened using steam locomotives that burned coke and, later, coal. Despite sulfurous fumes released by the locomotive, the line was a success from its opening, carrying 9.5 million passengers in the first year of its existence. In 1866 the City of London and Southwark Subway Company (later the City and South London Railway) began work on their “tube” line, using a tunneling shield developed by J.H. Greathead. The tunnels were driven at a depth sufficient to avoid interference with building foundations or public utilities, and there was no disruption of street traffic. The original plan called for cable operation, but electric traction was substituted before the line was opened. Operation began on this first electric underground railway in 1890 with a uniform fare of twopence for any journey on the 3-mile (5-km) line. In 1900 Charles Tyson Yerkes, an American railway magnate, arrived in London, and he was subsequently responsible for the construction of more tube railways and for the electrification of the cut-and-cover lines. During World Wars I and II the tube stations performed the unplanned function of air-raid shelters. London’s system is now popularly known as the Tube or the...

Beware! They have their menu displayed overhead. But then they want you to "make" your own sandwich. I ordered a turkey sub straight from their menu. But then they offered to add extra chicken and salami slice, which more than doubled the price than the advertised price. Without the "extra" addons, all you get is a slice of meat in a piece of bread. But the "extra" money is worth it if you decide to go for it. Also do agree to get extra stuff like jalapeños, black olives and onions because they probably come at no...
