the Tube

Originally, in this context, the tunnel in which an underground electric train runs (late C19), hence this abbreviation of “tube-railway”. The Central London Railway, which opened in 1900, was known as “The Twopenny Tube” for its fixed-price fee. The cost of a journey has been going up ever since.
