Who invented the underground train IN LONDON?
Answers:
For the train itself the first specfic trains for the London Underground were invented by Sir Daniel Gooch who designed and built 22 outside-cylinder 2-4-0 locomotives for the line.
The history of the London Underground is one of gradual evolution. One section of it was the first urban underground passenger-carrying railway in the world, for although the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel in New York, opened in 1844, is sometimes called the "world's oldest subway tunnel", this had no stations and was used for long-distance as well as suburban trains.

The first underground trains in London were Steam locomotives on the Metropolitan Railway. It was an idea by Charles Pearson in 1843 to connect together the main line north London stations. He suggested using an atmospheric powered railway, but the Metropolitan line's engineer, Sir John Fowler devised a smokeless engine powered by red-hot bricks under the boiler. The smoke and steam were to be released when the trains emerged from the tunnels. The first shaft was sunk in 1860 and the railway opened in 1863. It was later extended to become a 'great girdle' of London which is now known as the Circle Line.
