Default London v Paris

In article , Mark Brader

On the MBTA subway system in Boston, known as the T for short, they
do in fact use "inbound" and "outbound" as directions on most of the
system.


The Tyne & Wear Metro uses "in" and "out". "In" is from St.James or the
airport to South Shields or Sunderland; "out" is the opposite. The terms
come from "inside" and "outside" on the loop bit, but it means a train
to Monument could be "in" or "out" depending on where you are (and in
some places both though with different travel times). For Shields and
Sunderland locals, "in" is towards them, of course.
