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.Â* That was how it was 50 years
ago when I worked for, LT.
LU, surely?Â* LT includes more than the Underground.
Not 50 years ago
Was LT only the Underground back then?Â* I thought it included the
buses. If
not, what was the umbrella organisation called?
As far as I recall LPTB was the umbrella organisation for London Buses
Tube and trams etc. from the 1920s
On Transport Nationalisation in 1948 this became LTE (London Country
Buses & Green Line Buses were excluded)
Might be wrong.
OT I wonder who prefer callingÂ* buses Omnibuses their original name.

- and as I explained (shame on you for quoting
selectively)
But I didn't. I quoted your whole post. Shame on you for thinking I'm
Roland!
it strengthened morale and never led to ambiguity.Â* LU
sounds like where that morale got flushed down by the "image fetishists"
Â*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...
