The London underground is undoubtedly one of the most linked to mobility in the world. 150 years ago, opened the Tube has 270 stations active, a journey of around 400 kilometres.

As is normal in such ancient infrastructure and that accompanied the growth of London â€" from three to nine million people â€" the Tube opened new stations, closed others and even went so far as to not open some that had already built.

Those who know the London underground knows that the tunnels are multiplying. Many of them cannot be accessed, which favors the map of Maryk. Many of the stations were closed for lack of passengers, other eventually close due to other, more modern constructions.

This is where the draft Maryk wins a fascinating dimension, which describes not only the mystical dimension of the Tube but also its own evolution over a century and a half.
