I like how they are so commited to saying every single letter in that song

[@Dirkus17]

First time I ever heard Jay play this song he introduced it by asking audience members how they’d got to the gig and then for those who said “tube” which station they’d come from. Then he was able to banter a bit about the 270 and how hard it’d be to name them all. He didn’t ask me though, which was just as well as I’d come after work from the nearest station to my office.... Bank.

[@transportenthusiast11]

Wow.

[@Codraroll]

If you want to include the new stations, Battersea and Nine Elms, when singing, their "canonical" placement in the lyrics is after the very end, between Bounds Green and Bank. You may also choose to sing "Heathrow Terminals Two and Three" instead of "One, Two, Three" as Heathrow Terminal 1 isn't a station anymore.

[@richardharrold9736]

​@@armedmaster2472 "Tube" refers exclusively to the London Underground network.

[@RJSRdg]

@@armedmaster2472 The London Underground network extends some distance (above ground) outside London (and used to extend a lot further). The only other underground railway in the UK is the Glasgow Subway, although both the Tyne and Wear Metro and Merseyrail have some stations underground. There was also the long-abandoned Clifton Rocks Railway in Bristol, which was an underground funicular railway.

1,5 speed

[@1BarnetTE.]

Yes.

[@Codraroll]

Great suggestion! It's a lovely arrangement, and probably already difficult for the singers to sing at that speed, but at 1.5x the song really shines. Sounds like the arrangement cut it down to exactly two thirds of its original tempo, and dialing it back up puts it right at the tempo of Jay Foreman's original. Update: It doesn't sound half bad at 1.25 speed either. It keeps most of the snappiness of Foreman's original, while also retaining the more ethereal style of the choral arrangement.

[@maxwelldeluca1725]

Yup.

[@danielslovacek2101]

What? Too fast, 1.25x is just right...

Do 1.5x speed for original speed just like jay foreman’s original song

1.25x also sounds pretty good. Fast and bouncy enough to get the snappiness of the original, still slow enough for the strengths of the choral arrangement to be retained.
