I notice that "Nine Elms" roundels have gone up all over the

Boris has also ceremonially started a conveyor belt from the

Maybe they should have just built a two way conveyor from
Battersea to Vauxhall and then we wouldn't need the railway
;-)

I wonder if when that extension is built and the line is
operationally split in 2 whether one half of the line will be
given a new name or whether it'll still all be known as the
northern line?

Logically two independent lines should have two names.
Independent from a customer facing standpoint that is. It would
be no surprise if they still exchanged empty stock movements.

If the bits that were the "Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead
Railway" remain together, the "Hampstead Line" has a good ring to
it.

Or, how about something royal? "The Queen Elizabeth Line", "The
Charles, Prince of Wales Line", or "The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge Line". I suspect in every day speech these would
become the QE2, Charlie, or Duchess Lines respectively. :-)

TfL could celebrate a great politician: "The Cromwell Line",
"The Winston Spencer Churchill Line", or, especially the part
that includes the Barnett Branch "The Baroness Thatcher Line".


That last one would probably make half the passengers want to
puke.......

You are believing your own leftist propaganda. Allow me to paint a
more realistic pictu More than half of the potential users of the
route just would not care. Sad, but welcome to the modern apathetic
world.

A healthy number would be happy to see the Iron Lady so honored.

A boisterous left wing minority would make a lot of obscene fuss.
They would use the methods at their disposal, vandalism, graffiti et
al. This says more about them than the great lady.


The she-devil whose policies in her first parliament led to unemployment
increasing (on average) by nearly 2000 jobs -- every single day ?? The
one who I saw strutting around on TV looking as if she thought she ought
to be Queen ? The one whose policies encouraged greed & selfishness ?
The one who gave her son a knighthood for "goodness knows what" services
to our country ? The one that Macmillan described as "selling the family
siver" ?

You are more than welcome to her (memory).

No - Labour wasn't perfect either. This country probably had a great PM
for only 5 years in the 20th century - Churchill during WW2, for
inspiring us to resist the evils of Hitler & co. .

But a Happy New Year to everyone here.
