I’m a Dub and I forgot there were two DART lines.

I was tossing up between green and yellow for the District line, thankfully went with the right one.

I knew the Northern Line was black, that's the one I seemed to end up using most last time I was in London.

the purple tin

George Washington!!!
That must be a mickey-take.

Are there really two though... like it's only three stops different, it'd be a branch in tube terms

Civil War

Fantastically vague answer there. There probably was at least one civil war going on somewhere for those dates tbf, so can we confidently say that it's incorrect? :pac:

Northern line city branch during rush hour is no mean feat.

Years of staring at the tube map rather than looking at other people has obviously helped in this game :F

.

The Circle line (yellow) and District line (green) follow most of the same route on the tube map.

True I suppose. Although that’s no consolation if you want to go to Howth and get on the Malahide train which I may or may not have done in the not too distant past.

It is a very aesthetically pleasing map tbf.

Ugh, can't believe I'm praising something the Brits did. On St. Patrick's Day, of all days.
