Yuk! "Central and Northern Lines" is definitely not part of the stations
name. Perhaps tags like

railway=station               <- leave this tag because it is true
railway_network=London Tube    <- use this tag to decide on logo
railway_line=Central;Northern

We could then apply the "railway_network" and "railway_line" tags to any
database element that currently has a "railway" tag when we want to be
more specific.
