Answer 1

London Underground Railway was set up to persuade people to leave the city and live in garden Suburbs to decongest and solve the housing problems in the city of London. It solved the housing problem of the city partly.

• The people were afraid to travel in it because the atmosphere in the compartments was a mixture of sulphur, coal dust and foul fumes from the gas lamps above, so that people travelled were half-dead of asphyxiation and heat. It was criticized because it led to demolishing of thousands of houses also.
