tube train

London metro vehicle

A tube train is a train that runs on the London Underground, the subway system beneath London.

The name comes from the circular tunnel shape of the deep-level lines.

We caught the tube train at Piccadilly Circus.

Outside London, the term is rarely used; other cities call their systems subways or metros.
