THIS WAS TAKEN ALONGSIDE ONE OF LONDON’S “UNDERGROUND” TRAINS. THEIR “UNDERGROUND” SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT FROM OUR SUBWAYS IN THAT SMOKING IS PERMITTED AT THE SUBWAY STATIONS AND THE TRAINS HAVE CARS WHERE SMOKING IS PERMITTED. THEY ARE FAR LESS CROWDED AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE.
INSTEAD OF PUTTING A TOKEN OR A COIN IN A TURNSTILE, YOU BUY A TICKET FROM A SLOT MACHINE OR IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SYSTEM, YOU CAN PURCHASE A TICKET AT A WINDOW. THE TICKETS ARE CHECKED AND COLLECTED AT THE STATION WHERE YOU LEAVE THE UNDERGROUND SYSTEM.
