If I had to guess I would say Bakerloo but it would be nice to be sure.
Remember what that station used to be like in the 1970s & 80s? The proverbial cross between (all together!) Threads and The Equalizer.
Scary and very unpleasant.
Whenever I used to hear "Don't Sleep in the Subway, Darling" it was always the warren of subways beneath E&C that I imagined the singer's husband having a quick kip in.
I've never heard the song, but I presume it's a warning against falling
asleep on a train rather than bedding down for the night in a corridor.
