Title: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Cynthia on December 14, 2014, 21:10:53 A London Underground quiz found via Facebook - how many stations can you identify?
http://www.quizfreak.co.uk/can-you-name-these-14-london-underground-stations/ (Crumbs, I hope this works! :-[) Edited by Brucey to fix the link Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Brucey on December 14, 2014, 21:20:21 (Crumbs, I hope this works! :-[) It didn't work, but easily fixed :)My score is 11 out of 14. Not too bad for an ex-Londoner. Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: ellendune on December 14, 2014, 21:25:59 Thanks. I managed 12 out of 14. Never lived or work based in London, but seem to go there often enough for work.

Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: plymothian on December 14, 2014, 21:33:09 Well that was easy.
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: rogerw on December 14, 2014, 21:39:41 Full marks for me as well ;D
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Electric train on December 14, 2014, 21:41:54 14 out of 14 ;D
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: JayMac on December 14, 2014, 21:43:12 Tube ace for me also!
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Cynthia on December 14, 2014, 22:01:05 I am not prepared to embarrass myself publically by admitting my puny score!
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Red Squirrel on December 14, 2014, 22:15:39 11/14. Lucky at that, I'd say.
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: johoare on December 14, 2014, 22:34:33 Tube ace for me too though I've always worked in London so that helped
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Oxonhutch on December 15, 2014, 09:18:48 "Tube Ace". I must get out more :)
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: eightf48544 on December 15, 2014, 10:04:50 Same here.
Although I think the answer to 8 should be Regents Prak they announce change there for buses to ZSL on the Bakerloo. Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: TeaStew on December 15, 2014, 10:59:24 I got 10/14. I tend to only travel on the pink yellow and black lines maybe once or twice a year at most so not bad! Being designated navigator probably helped a lot.
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: trainer on December 15, 2014, 11:35:24 13/14. Question 2 failure. But I am, allegedly, still 'ace'. That's nice. ::)

My mind modified the question to "Partner fancies Fancy a bit of shopping in Harrods? Which of these would be a good station to jump off at?" Offerings: South Kensington, Green Park, Osterley ... with the correct answer being "Osterley" Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Surrey 455 on December 15, 2014, 22:54:22 Quote Fancy a bit of shopping in Harrods?

Offerings: South Kensington, Green Park, Osterley ... with the correct answer being "Osterley" I seem to recall that Harrods warehouse was indeed in Osterley. I'm sure they've moved out now. Didn't Sky tv move in? Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: didcotdean on December 16, 2014, 00:11:40 Sky started out opposite Harrods warehouse but they have expanded all over that area now having bought the site a few years ago.
BSB by contrast started off opposite Harrods itself in Knightsbridge. Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Cynthia on December 16, 2014, 08:45:59 Seems like this quiz wasn't difficult enough to test our Forum and rail users! I have an idea brewing for something much more challenging, but it'll have to wait until the new year now.
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: TonyK on December 17, 2014, 22:15:57 Mornington Crescent!
Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: trainer on December 18, 2014, 16:26:14 Mornington Crescent! Not if you play by the Christmas (2014) Amendments it's not! Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: TonyK on December 18, 2014, 16:50:54 I got 11 out of 14, too!
A tube question of my own: What is unique about St Johns Wood amongst all the names of tube stations? (And it is daft) Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: grahame on December 18, 2014, 17:00:03 What is unique about St Johns Wood amongst all the names of tube stations? You've been fishing around for that question, I guess ;D Title: Re: Underground Stations Quiz Post by: Western Pathfinder on December 18, 2014, 17:51:09 If the answer is what I think it is I have to say I prefer mine smoked !
