Exploring Mars is going to be very exciting, but for now it's easier to explore our own planet! In particular London. We're going to follow Freddie as he explores all the different kinds of transport in London. He starts out from his home on his bicycle. He leaves his bike at the station and gets on a train. Trains travel into London from all over the country. 1,8 million of people travel into the center of London by train.
The next part of Freddie's journey is on another kind of train called the Docklands Light Railway. These are computer-controlled trains with no drivers. The London underground is called the Tube, they was opened in 1863. The different kinds of transport link up pretty well but sometimes you have to walk from on point in the journey to next.
People use lots of other forms of transport in London. Some people use boats on the River Thames to go work. The buses and taxis travel more quickly than cars, because they have a special lanes on the road.
