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

Was LT only the Underground back then?* 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 calling* buses Omnibuses their original name.

I used to go to events at a wine bar called The George Shillibeer the
inventor of the omnibus
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Shillibeer).
The building still has the London General Omnibus's name on it outside
being, at one time, the omnibus depot

The first omnibus

and not a roundel in sight.
