LONDON'S UNDERGROUND IN WORLD WAR (1) For many years of its existence London's Underground was the most popular and efficient means of public transport in the city. However, during the five years of World War II it played a far more important part in the life of England's capital than in the pre-war period. (2) In those hard days thousands of Londoners had to spend nights in .London's Underground.' Besides, many ancient books and e, collections from the British Museum spent the war in the "underground tunnels.-Some of the unused tunnels 5 miles in length were occupied by a factory producing airplanes. (3) Life for the people at the 79 stations was made as comfortable as possible: There were sleeping accommodations and a clinic at these stations. Special trains carried food supplies to 124 canteens (столовая). (4) The operation of London's Underground was so perfectly organized that even in the 'worst days of the war it was handling its normal volume of traffic during the day and was used as home by 177,000 people every .night. (5) Great efforts were made in order to ensure a safe operation of the whole system. The underground railways themselves were prepared for any emergency (аварийный) situation. They had duplicate control and power supply systems. In order to reduce the danger of flooding (наводнение) the tunnels near the Thames were equipped with isolating doors. All London trains had special reduced lighting for use on the track sections running on the surface. 5. Choose the correct version of the translation of the predicates. 1.
