At first glance, I took this for a joke -- but it's not, is it?

 

According to Wikipedia, the Underground's first electric locomotives were introduced in the early 1920's.  In 1953, the fifteen remaining were overhauled and fitted with name plates (including #8, the Sherlock Holmes).  They served until the early 60's, when they were replaced.

Aaawww.....maybe they should rename one of the current trains then?

Good idea - and have the 'Sherlock' cast & crew do the 'naming' ceremony

They might feel obligated to invite the folks from the recent movies and from Elementary as well.  Oh, and Sir Ian McKellen.  That could be a very interesting gathering -- in any number of ways.
