I thought the tea-cup name came from:

which looks a bit like a tea cup to me


Good god! I think you're right. I knew the tube diagram was an exercise in
fiendish Masonic symbolism, but this, this i had never expected!

How about a route like this:

Hammersmith
Edgware Road
Liverpool Street
Aldgate
Tower Hill
Gloucester Road
Edgware Road (reverse)
Gloucester Road
Tower Hill
Aldgate East
Barking (reverse and do the whole thing backwards)

That, i think you'll find, would make it a tea-pot service!

Now, how can we do scones?
