Cross City Line might have been a better term, though that would have
clashed with the City Line, or even Crossrail? Or we could go London style
and call it the "Huntskirkportby line"


Loop Line, Link Line and City Line all seemed fine to me. Then some
fancypants came along, probably someone from London, and wanted one to
be the Northern Line.

Should have been given a lashing and sent back south. ;-)
