Exercice 1
"So Bruno, this is the famous tube..."

Brian is referring to the system of trains which operates beneath London. He also uses two additional terms to describe this network:

The London (hint: this term begins with a "u").

And the "finest system in the world" (hint: this term begins with a "s").

Bonus question: Can you find another term to describe this train system? We often speak of the Paris or Moscow (hint: this term begins with a "m").

You may be interested to know that the London "tube" is the oldest below-ground train system in the world!

"So Bruno, this is the famous tube..."

Brian is referring to the system of trains which operates beneath London. He also uses two additional terms to describe this network:

The London Underground 1 (hint: this term begins with a "u").

And the "finest subway 2 system in the world" (hint: this term begins with a "s").

Bonus question: Can you find another term to describe this train system? We often speak of the Paris or Moscow metro 3 (hint: this term begins with a "m").

You may be interested to know that the London "tube" is the oldest below-ground train system in the world!
1 Underground: "The London Underground" is a common name for the metro system in London. The term "underground" means "beneath or below the ground", which is a very appropriate name for this system! In this context, it becomes a noun rather than an adjective. Example: "the London Underground is very expensive", or as an adjective: "Franz works for an underground newspaper". Note that the terms "tube" and "Underground" are only used in British English to describe the London metro system.
2 subway: The term "subway system" is used to describe a network of high-speed trains which carry customers underground. For example, we refer to the "New York subway". In Britain, the term also refers to passages used by pedestrians to walk under a busy road. Example: "I prefer to run across the road at night, because I'm scared of drunks in the subway", "The New York subway system almost always runs on schedule". Note that in this context, the term is mainly used in the US, and not in Britain.
3 metro: We sometimes refer to a network of high-speed underground trains as a "metro" system, which is short for "metropolitan". This term is not used to refer to the underground trains in the UK or the USA, and usually describes the networks in other cities. For example: "The Paris metro is much more reliable than the London Underground".
