Underground Electric Railways Company of London
The
Underground Electric Railways Company of London Limited
(
UERL
), known operationally as
the Underground
for much of its existence, was established in 1902. It was the
holding company
for the three deep-level "tube" underground railway lines opened in London during 1906 and 1907: the
Baker Street and Waterloo Railway
, the
Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway
and the
Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway
. It was also the parent company from 1902 of the
District Railway
, which it electrified between 1903 and 1905. The UERL is a precursor of today's
London Underground
; its three tube lines form the central sections of today's
Bakerloo
,
Northern
and
Piccadilly
lines.
