Maciej Edmund Tomasz Ryszard Otto!
I think the other baby was on the Bakerloo, and got named Thelma Ursula Beatrice [something].
I just wonder what they put down for place of birth; I think Train 98, Bakerloo Line, LT [as was] would be a bit of a mouthful trying to sqeeze onto any document that asked for this.

Should have called her Elizabeth, it being the Jubilee line.  |

IIRC the first baby born had Lord Ashfield as her godfather.

I did hear that the original TUBE name was a myth. I also like the mis-naming of the station!

I did hear that the original TUBE name was a myth. Indeed - from the linked to story above: "The only other birth recorded on the 275-station underground network happened in 1924 when Marie Cordery was born at Elephant & Castle, operator Transport for London said." |

Funny how there was just the other day a thread about Jerry Springers claims to be a tubebrat.

Typical of Murdoch news to say she was homeless, and by default a drain on the system. As to a name, Queenie? Seeing as Queensbury is close by.  |

Quote: "Brent Council, the local authority, said social workers were in contact with the woman, who was reported to be homeless." So now she has a baby in a few days she will probably be living in a 6 bedroom mansion worth £2million with lots of lovely Giro's burning a hole in her pockets ! Ahhh the British government are so generous when it comes to giving out our taxes we work our socks off to pay |

If I may offer an observation. It would appear that nobody has ever given birth on a 1938 TS |

This instantly reminded me of my first aid trainer's remark that if you help deliver a baby on a train inform the mother the baby receives free travel for life on LU... ;D

I was about to say it'd be neat if TfL did actually do that for this baby, bit of free publicity and all that, but then I though of all the well-meaning expectant mums who might start riding the network as the magic date neared in the hope that they could give the best start to their new child's life - by ensuring the child never has to pay for a Tube fare as long as they live! So perhaps it's best if this is a bit of free publicity TfL turn down |

I've found the quote from RTTC (1993)
'of course, it would not do to encourage this sort of thing, as I am a busy man' - Lord Ashfield after agreeing to be godfather to a baby born on a Bakerloo Line train on the evening of 13th May 1924. (The child was christened Thelma Ursula Beatrice Eleanor.)[/i]

A bit of an update - this was actually the third baby born on LU.
From LU's internal staff magazine:

That's interesting about the baby born at Whitechapel - must have been a bit of a sudden one if there wasn't even enough time to get the mother across the road to the Royal London hospital!
