Transport

Exploring Mars is going to be very exciting, but for now.
We're going to follow Freddie as he explores all the different kinds of transport in London.
He's a television researcher and he's going to find out about all the different ways of traveling in London. He starts out from his home on his bicycle.
His bike at the station and gets on a train. Trains travel into London from all over the country. They are very important for people who live in the subrubs or outside London and travel into London for work. 1.8 million people travel into the centre of London by train every day.

The next part of Freddie's journey is on another kind of train called the Docklands Light Railway .
For many people the journey by train takes them to a convenient Underground station. London Underground, usually called the Tube, was the first in the world when it opened in 1893.
The different kinds of transport link up pretty well but sometimes you have to walk from one point in the journey to the next.

People use lots of other froms of transport in London. Some people use boats on the River Thames to go to work. There is one kind of transport that isn't very good in London.
The buses and taxis travel more quickly because they have got special lanes on the road. Freddie's in a hurry now so he's taking a London taxi to a meeting.
