Well that's news to me. Thanks!


Like many others here I certainly differentiate between the Tube and
the tube, though I would not say that the Tube is a meaningless buzz-
word given that LU themselves use it as a shorthand for their network.


Is it a registered trademark now?

(I can sort of understand some irritation with the way that they use
it; a bit like using the label "The Bus" for all bus, coach and taxi
services.)
