What do British people call the train?
British people call the underground train in London "The Tube." Other useful slang includes using "quid" for pounds, referring to a social gathering as a "do," and calling a pub a "public house"—a more casual spot than a bar. Knowing these terms helps avoid confusion when exploring London.
Whats a train called in Britain?
Okay, so a train in Britain?
It’s… well, depends, innit? The main overground train is just called a train, like anywhere else I guess. But the underground? That’s The Tube! No question about it. (Think it costs me like £2.80 for a single ride sometimes. Ugh.)
It’s important to get used to local lingo when you are in London.
And get this, if someone says “quid,” they mean pounds. Like, money. I remember once trying to pay with dollars at a market stall near Borough Market, and the guy looked at me like I had two heads. “Quid only, mate,” he says. Haha, lesson learned.
Also, a “do” is, like, a party. A social thing. Not really train related, but still good to know.
And last but not least, a “pub” is a pub. But it’s way more than just a bar, you know? It’s a proper institution. More relaxed, proper British. I spent many a rainy afternoon in one near Paddington Station last November, trying to figure out the train times. Good times.
