My alternative list

Feline (suffragists and footballers)
Byline (inclusivity)
Coke line (traditional recreation in the city)
Hardline (austerity)
Beeline (the rush to escape a late afternoon kickoff at Wembley)
Flatline (honouring the decline of funding into the NHS)

Adrenaline (no speed limits, you have to sit on the roof)
Indiscipline (train's always late)
Punchline (Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson's legacy)
Crinoline (for that 1850s feel)
Trampoline (great springs in the seating)
Amitryptiline (night trains)

Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.

I was hoping they'd have four stations in a line called underground, overground, wombling, free - which head towards Wimbledon.

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

Could welcome French visitors at St Pancras with The Maginot Line.

Maybe build a new tube to Liverpool and call it The Onedin Line.
