like they were saying :

Ummm, lemme guess... No buffets on tube trains?


Pullman cars Mayflower and Galatea ran on the Met between 1910 and 1939.


Not quite tube trains in any sense.


The Met is certainly a tube line.


It is not. It is entirely surface (or subsurface in some places), but never
tube. That line is run entirely by A stock, which is surface stock, and
would
not fit in tube tunnels.

Even if you consider the Metropolitan to include the Circle,H+C,ELL, it
still
isn't tube.
