Change the name of some book/film/play/song/musical to reflect a tube station - for example Alperton and Cleopatra.

Alternatively:

"Bak to the Future" - Morden "Morty" McFly is a teenage boy living in London, 1985. In the early hours of October 26th, Morty meets his friend, Dr Embankment "Doc" Brown in Elephant and Castle tube station, where Emmett reveals a time machine converted from a 1983 Tube Stock. It is powered by Heathronium, a mysterious radioactive mineral found during the London Underground excavation at Heathrow Airport, and travels to a preset date when it reaches 88 mph. However, he is shot by overnight tube workers before he can make his first trip. Morty, who attempts to escape in the train up the Bakerloo Line, accidently sets off the machine, which transports him to November 5th, 1955.

Morty, who does not have the Heathronium for a return trip, visits the Doc of 1955, an aspiring tube challenger living in Watford Junction. Doc, who has just dreamed up the time machine, and hopes to use it to finally achieve a completion on the 1955 network, tells him that as Heathronium cannot be obtained due to stringent security checks (until the excavation in the 1970s), the only available power source for the 1.21 gigawatts is a bolt of lightning. Reading that a bolt of lightning is due to strike Harlesden on November 12, 1955 (it strikes the Harlesden Jubilee Clock), he begins to hook up the clock to the Bakerloo southbound tracks at Harlesden. Morty tells him there's not enough track from Harrow and Wealdstone or Elephant and Castle to reach 88mph, but Doc reminds him the line goes as far back as Watford Junction.

After a string of mishaps and grandfather paradoxes, Doc successfully sends Morty back to 1985.
