Tube Lines Could Be Sponsored To Reduce Fares

I fail to see what would be wrong with the Elizabeth Line.
Sounds like something involved in world cruises.
And "Victoria" is an area of London, but "Elizabeth" isn't.
All the better: naming a tube line after a place is dumb, because the
question "Is this a Victoria train"
I've never heard anyone ask that.
They might ask "is this train for Victoria" (if they are on *any* of the
lines passing through the station). Or they might, if extremely lost,
ask "is this a Victoria Line train" (rather than, say, a Northern Line
train).
