Well seeing as how TfL routinely use the term Tube to describe the
London Underground, all over their website (as in Tube map or Tube
engineering works),

That's what happens (not just with railways) when the publicity people
know SFA about what they're promoting.

I think we can excuse all the bourgeois communists
this time.

Well Allan, I guess I will have to concede. Although I dislike it
when official bodies give in to inaccurate popular culture.
Celebrating the new Millenium in 2000 was the biggest example of this
in our lifetime.
