    Piccadilly - I like planes and blue is my favourite colour!
    Jubilee - traction motors
     
  4. Metropolitan.
    It would have been the central line but when you use it frequently you learn to hate it.

    Northern Line, in the 70's. Massive network, those scary narrow island platforms, 1938 and 1959 stock.

    Bakerloo is my favourite, mainly for nostalgia. Coming from South Wales into Paddington it was more often than not the first line I'd go on as a child. I also have great fondness for the 1972 stock- I hope they live forever! Pity the TSW3 version is so soulless.

    I also really like the Central and Metropolitan lines. If they ever put in another Underground line in TSW3 I'd hope for the Met because:

    A. It's mostly above ground.
    B. Lots of branches
    C. Varied service patterns with express, stopping and semi fast services. No other Underground line has that.
    D. Could be a good starting point for a future Aylesbury to Marylebone route.

    Why is the TSW one so soulless, if you don't mind me asking?

    The 72 stock has so many unique characteristics in terms of the sounds they make. The TSW version just falls so short in my opinion. It's missing the character of it's real life counterpart.
