The Daily Mail will be pig-biting mad.
The Mail would've named all six after Kate Middleton. Middleton line, Duchess of Cambridge line, Princess of Wales line, etc.
There’d also have been a Churchill Line, after the greatest Englishman in history, and perhaps a Spitfire Line or Longbow Line or similar to stick it to the vino-drinking foreigners.
I'd actually be okay with any of those, though not necessarily for those reasons! But then, unlike the writers of the Mail, I'm not constantly on the lookout for reasons to go insane.
You've now got me thinking they should've gone with the Clement Attlee line for the old East London line.
