It is interesting how infrastructure silently reflects society of its time.

In 1906, people travelling with three suitcases would likely have servants carrying them, and no one cared particularly about comfort of servants.

I'm not sure they'd of gotten the tube at all, unless perhaps to connect to a mainline station for a trip to the country? I still feel it more likely they'd of been driven, either by horse drawn or maybe even car (at least to the station) even in 1906.

		I remember some rather old photos with very well-dressed people waiting for the tube... so probably "it depends". Compared to horse-drawn carriages, the tube was fast and not prone to traffic jams.
