– I'm really surprised that nobody has ever bothered to move this article to an unambiguous title. For as much as I know, "Central line" is just as, if not more, ambiguous as "
Circle line"? Moreover, people outside of London will tend to think that "central line" would mean "
central venous catheter" at first thought.

Strong supportWP:ASTONISH This isn't the London Wikipedia, central lines are prominent in medicine. --

Query - Are any of the other uses more notable than the London Underground line? Looking at
Central line (disambiguation), the only one which pops out as potentially being more notable is the
Central venous catheter, and given that is on another page already we could just change the hatnote of this article. -mattbuck (

There's no such concept as "more notable" in deciding whether there's a primary topic. It would be hard to imagine an argument to make any of the topics primary here.

Support – The present situation doesn't make much sense, and this is especially true if we are going to use lowercase "line" per
WP:NCCAPS. The present title implies a generic category, as opposed to the specific London line, and there are "central lines" all over the place, in various fields. There is no reason to make navigation difficult in this way.

Support – Clearly there's no primary topic here. However, I would not capitalize Line in the disambig page title.

Partial support. OK for the London addition (Proposer seems to think that any ambiguous term should be 'clarified', but this is not the case here: Central L/line could be a primary topic (by
WP:DAB standards). In that case, no DAB term would be needed. However, the London line does not convince as a primary topic, so indeed the DAB term should be added).
wrt the capitalisation of Line/line? As is today, both
Central Line and
Central line are corvered in the
Central line (disambiguation) page, which is OK per
WP:DPAGE. With this, I think the DAB content should be in
Central line (lowercase, as is today btw). Of course a redirect in the uppercase name page. -

Support. No reason to think this is the primary topic.

Should this not mention the Loughton - Ongar section first as this was built before the "core" central line?

Is it something that is a likely search term? Most people will search for Central Line and come up with the dab page which will send them where they want to go. I would have thought Central Line (tube) or similar would have been a more likely term.
