How The Tube Lines Got Their Names

There are 11 Tube Lines on the current tube map - how did they get their names? It all started with the Metropolitan District Railways in 1863, and here's a history of all the names since then.

The Tube Map now also includes the Overground, DLR, Trams, Tfl Rail, Thameslink .. and even the Cable Car. All those names are pretty obvious though!

The animation map portions are from my other video 'Evolution of the Underground' a complete animation of how the Underground has grown over time: https://youtu.be/1pMX7EkAhoA
