"The next station is Charing Cross. Change here for the Northern Line and National Rail services. Alight here for Trafalgar Square"...Train stops..."This is Charing cross"...continues as before..."This is a Bakerloo Line train for Harrow and Wealdstone. This train is ready to depart- stand clear of the closing doors"... BEEP BEEP BEEP

the tube

The London Underground, the first such system in the world. Resembles (and smells like) a small train running in a sewer. Beloved of Ken Livingstone. Takes forever to get anywhere (if its running at all).

Londoner: "London's ace coz its got The Tube blah blah..."
Brummie: "Fuck that it takes half an hour to go a mile- I can go 120mph in my car..."
