D6975 you did all the legwork, and you were so, so close to the right answer.

A former subway symbol = The U which used to appear outside Glasgow Subway (then known as Glasgow Underground) stations. An S in white, grey and orange concentric circles is the current symbol.

Here's where it gets tricky. DaleCooper was the first to solve all the clues, but the original question asked only to sort the items into the correct order. D6975 was the first to do so.

I think therefore D6975 should have the floor. Hopefully that's ok with you, DaleCooper?

That's the right answer but another user has posted a question before I did, so I think it's only fair that AlterEgo's question is the "official" one. Unfortunately, that means I cannot give you the floor. Sorry.
