Also, here in the UK we tend to use the word "subway"
to describe a pedestrian underpass beneath a road,
rather than an underground railway system.

No: in Glasgow the underground railway is referred to by most people as "The
Subway". In London "subway" can only mean a pedestrian underpass. There are
similar differences in terminology between different US cities.

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
