TUBE STRIKE QUIZ: Guess the line…If Tube Lines Were People

In the face of not just one day, but a day and A NIGHT of tube strikes, I think we have all realised just how much we secretly love it. Therefore, since we’re all sitting on overcrowded buses or maybe even the Thames Clipper, and posting our disgruntlement on various forms of social media, I thought I’d cheer everyone up and give you something more productive to do whilst you sit in the traffic:

AN INCREDIBLY FUN QUIZ

Please comment below the line with your guesses! Answers here. (Note: DLR and Overground not included because they’re not on strike).

1. Long, leggy and quite nice to look at, she is that friend who goes to all the fun places, although occasionally heads somewhere that’s a bit of a let down (Osterley, anyone?). You can be sure of a good time but tends to stand you up occasionally. Also seems to go abroad a LOT (or maybe she just works at the airport, who knows).

2. An old friend, you keep hanging out with him because you kind of have to. Let’s face it, he’s lame, but always seems to be in the area, and has been on your route home since you were at school. Not the worst guy to be around but is incredibly unreliable and always seems to smell at around 11pm on the weekends.

3. This gal is just all over the place, but seems to manage an incredibly busy schedule quite well. If she does have a breakdown, however, it’s a big one, and has been known to go AWOL for hours at a time. Keeps herself quite clean – number 2 could take a leaf out of her book.

4. This is one sexy lady, the perfect mixture of beauty and personality, direct yet compassionate, simple yet sophisticated. She’s always there for you, can show vulnerability occasionally but it’s ok, you’ll be her knight in shining armour, right? However, for the most part, she knows what she wants, and she gets it.

5. Similarly strong minded, she was one of those girls who was kind of plain and slow at school but as she grew older, blossomed into the slick, fast talking and suave individual she is today. Has the occasional lapse of concentration.

6. Total prick.

7, 8 and 9.
These three amigos tend to stick together the entire time, with some accusing them of being cliquey. Therefore in an attempt to break away from this tag, 7 spreads its wings and goes a bit rogue, hanging out in places and with people that nobody else knows, and some dispute are even true Londoners. 8 does try and spend some time on his own, but 9 tends to be much more of a hanger on – in fact, he never leaves the other lines alone. Pretty needy if you ask me.

10. Shy and reclusive, he is somewhat of a mystery to most people but has occasionally been seen flirting with 2.

11. The forgotten man, he was once a pretty big personality but his age has rendered him a little bit irrelevant, as most of his main hangouts have been taken over by younger, hotter lines. Still reasonably well kept, he gets a few invites to social arrangements here and there but ultimately most people forget he’s even there.

Or alternatively, just get the VoiceMap app and take yourself on a walking tour and forget the tube ever existed.
