Victoria line
The name "Victoria line" dates from 1955; other suggestions were "Walvic line" (Walthamstow–Victoria), "Viking line" (Victoria–King's Cross), "Mayfair line" and "West End line". During the planning stages it was known as "Route C" and named the Victoria line (after the station) by David McKenna, whose suggestion was seconded by Sir John Elliot. The board decided that the Victoria line sounded "just right".
