| On a Crossrail site last week, I heard workers calling it the "Betty Line". Except when the bosses are about! "I'm working on the On the Betty" said one. Stupid enough to have asked him what he meant before the penny dropped!! I suspect it will get called the Betty or Lizzie Line in no time at all. Some lines are always nicknamed or abbreviated. The Picc, the Met, the Joob, the Vic or Viccy, the Drain and the Inner Circle or Inner Rail which is a real throwback name still heard used by underground railway folk. |
