So why do all the roundel signs say Underground..? That's what it's
been known as my whole life and I was born in London even though I
don't live there any more.
Next time you're in London get a map, it's called the TUBE map.
It is now, because some idiot decided to change the name. All the old
maps I saved from my childhood say Underground.
Save toner and breath - and call it LT. That was how it was 50 years
ago when I worked for, LT.
LU, surely? LT includes more than the Underground.
Not 50 years ago - and as I explained (shame on you for quoting
selectively) it strengthened morale and never led to ambiguity. LU
sounds like where that morale got flushed down by the "image fetishists"
I never remember seeing an intending rail passenger waiting for that
train at a bus stop - or vice-versa.
Of course, that doesn't mean it never happened...
