Unfortunately, you will be left in limbo for some time, as stevo's account has been disabled. I was sent a message by him saying that he apologises for having to abandon you and the quiz for now, but he cannot post any replies to tell you whether you are right or wrong! Just a heads up stevo's account has been temporarily suspended by an Admin, pending an investigation by the Forum Staff. Most of the time this work goes on in the background, so other members need not know. MRFS.

So, as he's now been banned, it looks as if we are not going to find out which line has most stations with no overground building.
Shame.

Just thought to Google it (duh) and there is an interesting list of factoids (probably where the quiz came from) Here.

Sme of which are doubtful - the Jerry Springer one for example: he may haild from East Finchley, and he may have been born in AN underground station during an air raid, but East Finchley station itself is not a very effective air raid shelter, being on the surface.
