The news that
the new London Underground Crossrail line is to be named the Elizabeth Line to
honour Her Majesty and make it memorable is one from The Department Of Bright
Ideas.
It will be
known to most, I suspect, as The Busy Lizzie if the forecasts of passenger use
are anywhere near correct and perhaps simply the Lizzie Line.
More to the
point is that the name is a little long and not easy on the tongue for those
who have had a few.
One of the
stations in the central section is Bond Street, a place at the centre of the
London fashion and clothing retail trade.
So why not
call it the Clothes Line?
It may be shortened even further to the Liz.
