Question of the week: Do you have a favourite tube line, and why? "I suppose my favourite tube line is the Bakerloo Line - and not only because it has a bit of a funny name. The Bakerloo line isn't the oldest, but it does have a fun 'foundation myth' - apparently a number of businessmen wanted to get to and from Lords Cricket ground as quickly and easily as possible... It was founded in 1906, and ran between Baker Street and Lambeth North stations, linking London, north and south of the river.
Another, silly, reason that I like the Bakerloo line is that a number of the stpps have fun or interesting decorations - ranging from the traditional tiles of Marylebone Station, to the British-history-themed Charing Cross, to the slightly psychedelic-Sherlock Holmes tiles of Baker Street. It's fun to watch them whizz by on the way to wherever you want to go!"- Kris
