        1. Less invested now I no longer live in London but I think I hate all these names. I'm trying to bear in mind how silly 'Bakerloo' would sound if you suggested it out of the blue and how normalised it has become. Hopefully the same with these clumsy and dated names. @BBCNews/1758019320972530146

        'My' line for most of my time in London is the new Windrush line which is one of the least bad names but is still a very hollow gesture for those communities.

      Anyway, now is the time to take radical action and split up the Northern line.

    I'm never convinced by the argument that because the worst people are angry at something, I should be happy with them. These names can be infuriatingly bad for both the worst people and the best people (the people who broadly share my politics).
