For the purpose of a survey that asked "have you ever used a train",
would you answer "yes" or "no", if you'd only made trips on tube trains?

Me, personally? I'd probably say, "Well I've been on the tube but not a
proper train"

Merseyside could be fun; some people are very insistent that it is an underground, not a "normal" railway. And how about people who don't use trains or the underground, but do use a subway - which many people would think must be either foreign, roads or sandwiches.
