And he insists on calling it “the subway”,

Only the Waterloo and City was referred to as the drain.

FWIW Marc Isambard Brunel was French I think. His more famous son, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was British and it was he who finished that first tunnel - nearly drowning after a flood.

I have never heard a single living soul utter the words “the train in the drain”

The entire economy of SE Dorset & SW Hampshire would be improved by folks having an alternative rail system connecting the satellite towns & communities of Bournemouth & Poole yet i still find myself in the same traffic jams i experienced 44 years ago when travelling to Poole Tech. Unless it’s the very big cities in Britain, transportation isn’t any quicker or easier than 2 generations ago.
