I did some surfing on underground rail systems. It is amazing that no one has mentioned that Liverpool has the second oldest underground rail network in the world - 1886. They say Budapest was the second oldest in 1892. Those in Glasgow say Glasgow was the second oldest in the UK. Sure they were.

The first three tunnels bored under a metropolis (under streets), were, the Crown St tunnel, Wapping Tunnel and the Lime Street tunnel - all in Liverpool. The oldest used rail tunnel in the world is in Liverpool and the oldest used rail station as well.
Amazing how they forget Liverpool. No surprise.
