Issues with folding bicycles on European trains?
The name "tube" appeared early in the 20th century when the deep level
lines first opened with their small diameter tunnels. It is now often used (incorrectly) by the general public to mean any Underground line. "I'll take the Tube" is an expression commonly heard in London. The sub surface lines are the Circle, District, East London, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines. Only the others, the Bakerloo, Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria and Waterloo & City Lines are true tube lines. Right I'll remember that on my next trip from Harrow on the Hill to Waterloo. 'Im taking the surface/cut'n'cover to Baker St and then the tube to Waterloo' |

On my first visit to London, as a boy of 11 more years ago than I am going to admit, I asked a very proper City type with umbrella and Derby (Bowler?) where was the nearest Tube Station. He assumed a puzzled expression in then said in a superior fashion, "Oh, you mean the Underground Station!" -- James V. Silverton Potomac, Maryland, USA |
