Can anyone help me find this book of short stories?

I'm trying to identify a book of short stories I really want to read. It was a book that was in the library of an AirBNB I stayed in. I was only there for a short time and wanted to read it, but I forgot to take a note of it before I left.

It was a book of short stories based on London Underground stations. Each story was named after a particular station. I think the title of the collection was something like Northern Line, Circle Line. I don't really remember the cover but I think the book looked as though it was published in the '80s or '90s. I think the author was a well known British or Irish female author but I can't remember which.

It's driving me crazy and I can't contact my host to ask them, so any help would be appreciated. TIA

I too think it was Maeve Binchy; I think I have it somewhere upstairs.
