#THE TUBE LONDON DRIVERS#

The Queen rode the Tube for the third time in 1977 when she opened part of an extension to the Piccadilly Line, and again in 2013 to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground's first opening. However, they were recognised on their trip back which they took during rush hour. It's said that no one recognised the Princesses on the trip to Tottenham Court Road, where they had tea at a nearby shop.

The princesses, both dressed in green coats, bought their own tickets and boarded a third class smoking carriage at their local Tube station, St, James’s Park to Charing Cross (now Embankment) where they switched to the Northern line, which took them to Tottenham Court Road. The young princess boarded the Tube with her younger sister princess Margaret, her nanny Marion Crawford, Lady-in-waiting Lady Helen Grantham and the house detective. She took her first Tube ride in 1939, when she was just 13-years-old and before she was the monarch. The Queen had been on the Tube before she made history on the Victoria line.

The Queen travelled in the drivers cabin on the way to Oxford Circus, and then in the more normal passenger seats on the return trip. The Queen took the Victoria line from Oxford Circus to Victoria, before unveiling a plaque, and then paid for her own ticket before boarding a Tube at Green Park.
