The line was renamed after the Tories, led by Horace Cutler, won control of the GLC in 1977 - the election would have been in May, so about a month before the official celebrations in June.

Just found the London Geezer website. Very nice.

of course Charing Cross station platforms (Jubilee Line) are not disused at all. They are used for filming (notably Skyfall) and for turning trains around at times of disruption when they show "Green Park" as a destination.

I thought the "Fleet Line" name came first, (after the street it was to have followed between Aldwych and Ludgate Circus) with "River Line" coined for the proposed extension to Woolwich.

Is it really only 6000 extra passengers per day? I would have thought this was an hourly figure.

It was certainly called the Fleet line while the Baker Street to Charing Cross bit was being built in the 1970s. It even got as far as a few line diagrams on trains -- I certainly remember seeing one around that time showing an interchange with the Fleet line (under construction). Can't remember which line, I'm afraid.

I meant, of course, the official celebrations of the silver jubilee.

Being uber-pedantic I always thought the line was going to be named after the river which, of course, is what the street is also named after.
