I don't either, unless it's an obscure reference to them only briefly meeting at Stratford and Bond Street

Maybe. The "let's just say I didn't mind her gap" line makes no sense then though. Not that it does anyway

Well yes, but two Tube Lines didn't exactly do it did they?

Well if you want to be strictly literal, tube lines aren't people either!

Without overanalysing, I took it as the, er, "interchange" (to keep the railway analogy) involved in a "Brief Encounter" (to keep the railway analogy) between a stereotypical "Essex Girl" from the eastern end of the Central line and a cynical sly "Silver Fox" ageing lothario on the Jubilee line (who is probably a banker who works in Canary Wharf and lives somewhere between Baker Street and West Hampstead). Hmm, actually that probably is overanalysing. Anyway, I enjoyed the video generally, although I thought the DLR automation was somewhat overplayed.
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.
