Edit: We also have trains (I think we have 5 or 6 lines if I'm not mistaken) but when we say subway, we tend to refer it as an underground train system. Right now the construction is ongoing and expected to end in 2025.

There were regular air vents all along the route. If you go to many central stations, however, the ceilings and brickwork above the tracks are still covered in soot from that time... Also, as early as 1890 electric trains were introduced, and by the turn of the century all new trains were electrically powered, so all of the deep-bored tunnels, even the early ones, didn't need any ventilation except at the stations themselves for passengers and pressure equalisation due to the tunnel effect.

@Craig F. Thompson what is your point? World's first railroad tunnel was still invented in Derbyshire, Britain called Stoddart Tunnel in 1796 and Railway, Locomotive and Train were all invented in Britain in 1804 by Richard Trevithick and George Stephenson, Everything was invented in Britain as World's first Industrial Revolution happened in Britain, Britain created the first industrialized modern world. Britain invented Steam Engine by Thomas Newcomen and James Watt which led to basically everything in this modern world

Why are you calling it subway and not metro? I mean the word metro developed from the Metropolitan Railway (although it's not used in London) and also metro is the standard term for these kinds of rapid transit systems

MarioFanGamer well Underground is only the one in London, Glasgow has the subway and Newcastle has the Tyne-and-Wear Metro but (as a non-native) I think metro is accepted as a general term

We either call it the tube or the underground, but mostly the tube, as that's it's official name. We call it that from the shape of the tunnels, like said in the video

@PastPresented

The video doesn't really portray the exhaust correctly. The pre-electric locomotives had condensers, which meant that emissions were kept to a minimum- but the cooling water for the condensers reached boiling point quite quickly, so frequent water changes were required (luckily the trains had to stop every few hundred metres for the stations anyway).

I call it the underground because it is a British invention. I don't care how invented the internet or the Computer, that is an entirely different issue especially since Computers can refer to two entirely different things in terms of history, because it doesn't matter. So long as you are speaking English and refering to the underground, the correct comes from the country that invented it not the country that later used it
