18/18, though if some of the options had been less obvious then I may have struggled a little more.

I worked out the answer to each before scrolling down to the options.   Lisa sitting beside me felt that I should have done better things with my life than learned the tube map!

Still need to refer back to a real map to sort out my Kew Gardens from my Gunnersbury ...

[Adelante_CCT]

Hadn't thought of that one, I just happened to select Gunnersbury. Having checked I'm guessing the difference is the stepfree symbol.

That could be it. I selected Kew Gardens because the I thought that the two lines should have been shown diverging just north of the station if it was Gunnersbury.

[Adelante_CCT]

In reality yes, Gunnersbury isn't far from Chiswick park but the lines on the map don't diverge until much further north.

About 10 minute walk as I remember, but about half the times I walk out of Chiswick Park to get to Gunnerbury, I have heard a Richmond Train pass by on the other line!

I remember a challenge on the ITV gameshow "You Bet!" back in the early 1990s where a kid did this with the lines not even in colour.  He not only had to identify the stations but also the lines shown.

12/18. I struggled with the DLR^▸ (Docklands Light Railway) and Overground and also was confused by the Overground being a solid orange on a normal map and two orange lines here.

I think a lot of our partners feel that about the time we spend on here!

Yep - mine too!

The "definitive" map for this quiz is - I think - http://content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf

Yep, the one I got wrong was due to my consideration of the physical layout which the diagram doesn't reflect overtaking consideration of a wheelchair symbol. Oops - but then it's only a quiz!

Smug 

... and sad!

Oh, I hadn't realised that some of the line colours on the tube map were different to the combined rail and tube map. http://content.tfl.gov.uk/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf
I guess it is to better differentiate all the different rail services. As an all zone travelcard holder this is the map I refer to most because if I am travelling to outside London I can see where zone 6 ends on each National Rail line and buy a ticket starting from the last station in the zone.

16/18 I blame finger trouble for one I click before moving the highlight and the other was Gunnesbury I thought that the divergence was nearer the station. Should have paid more attention to the Wheelchair symbol.
