Why might Franz, current holder of the title Duke of Bavaria, be interested in the outcome of the Scottish independence referendum?
 
Would he be in some way related to the King James line of the Scottish throne?...

Close enough, he is the current Jacobite pretender, though he does not pursue his claim. Interesting chap, his family were staunchly anti-Nazi and he spent time in several concentration camps, including Dachau, as a child during the war.

My source says Shanghai longest followed by Beijing, then London. I think it may vary according to what is included, I was going by a single system eg the Underground excludes Docklands. If you includes all the different lines in a single city I think Tokyo would be up there, but it's made up of dozens of separate lines run by different companies.
