Just wondering... did the person who decided that the Fleet
Line should be renamed the Jubilee Line get their knighthood?

It was Horace Cutler and at the time all GLC leaders got knighthoods at some
point, like Lord Mayors of London.

Yes, I think all the GLC leaders until Ken Livingstone were knighted,
and some went on to become peers. I don't know if Ken was offered one,
but presume he'd have turned it down if he was.
