The underground railway in Glasgow – which is still in the UK, for the time being, at least! – is called the subway.
Hi Jonathan. Thanks for that. These distinctions are rarely as clear-cut as they appear, are they; and I suspect that there is more and more common ground between the two varieties. Of course for many people the image that is evoked by the word ‘subway’ is a well-known US-based purveyor of bread-based snacks, the ‘sub’ in this case referring to the US name for a long thin bread roll.
