I had fun with this ... 9 out of 20.  But then it was half a lifetime away that I moved from London

I got 11 out of 20  :)

10/20 and I have only spent about 10 days in London ever, although many were educated guesses.

13 for me with some judicious guess work.

13 for me

Yay. 16 correct for me!

9 for me.

I was doing quite well until I saw the one about Platform 9 3/4. What, exactly, is the relevance of that to a quiz about the tube network? Eh?

15 for me with quite a few inspired guesses. ;D

The entrance is on the roof of a tube station, (the KX/StP nortern ticket hall) perhaps?  ;D

"Which is the fastest line?"

How on earth do you define this?  Point to point speeds?  Fastest speed limit?  Fastest trains?  Fastest from end to end?  Each definition reveals a different line as the answer.

"What is the shortest distance between two lines?"  ???

I answered that based on the options, but all the options were pairs of adjacent stations.

I'd argue that the shortest distance between lines is at any station where services of different lines call at the same platform face. Therefore, exactly 0in0ft. Such as Baker Street (H&C/Circle) or Westminster (District/Circle). Even the cross platform interchange between Bakerloo and Victoria lines at Oxford Circus is shorter than the distance between what I suspect was the quiz setter's intended answer for the above question.

And what the heck has Platform 9^ got to do with the Underground?

Despite at least 4 ambiguous questions I managed to get 18/20, with some inspired guesses in places. Missed out on the number of tube stations on a Monopoly board (slightly ambiguous - there's none on my Monopoly board - The Somerset Edition!) and the amount TfL charges per hour for filming on the tube.

Got 16/20 but I would dispute the answer of 3 to Tube stations on the Monopoly board, because I can find 4:

Liverpool Street
Bond Street
Leicester Square
Marylebone

That's without (The) Angel (Islington) and Kings Cross [St Pancras] (stn)

You could argue that Angel, Bond Street and Leicester Sq are exclusively tube stations (and there's three of them).
