I'll chuck Finsbury Park in for C as I know there's work going on there.

Technically I didn't get it right. Shows what happens when I don't trust the quizmasters! ;-)

I'll chuck in Turnpike Lane. It could be any one of the four towards the top of the Piccadilly and as the colour must have been changed it can't be Manor House!

I have a quick question, and this may be the best place to ask it.
I use Oyster PAYG and travel between zones 1-3 during a Monday-Sunday week, so I would expect it to max out at the weekly adult rate of £38.70. However if I make one journey into zone 4, would it charge me Z1-3 £38.70 with an additional £2.50 journey, or increase my maximum cap to the Z1-4 rate of £47.30?

After a little bit of research, these were the termini of the Metropolitan Railway on its 10th anniversary (1873). The fifth is South Kensington.

So Wimbledon for A as ends of the District Line? With Edgware Road and Olympia as potential fifth, as innercircle said?

The Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy shared the below on Facebook following her interaction with TfL regarding the reliability and station closures:
"Walthamstow - I continue to be in regular contact with TFL about the problems with the Victoria Line. Below is an update on my discussions with them today about these issues - please share with others to keep them posted on what's happening so you can all plan your travel accordingly. Thank you!
On today's disruption (Monday 16th Jan) and Easter disruption: TFL say they had problems at Euston which were technical i.e. with a rail which had to be fixed when it broke. They say this is very unusual as the Victoria line 'their best line' in terms of efficiency and infrastructure and don't believe today's incident is connected to any larger problem. Furthermore, I want to give residents advance notice that they have plans at Easter to increase the frequency of trains on our line to 36 per hour at peak times (and 30 trains an hour on a Saturday for longer too) To do that, they say they will need to close the line over the Easter Bank Holiday to upgrade the software the trains run on - so be aware it will be closed for four days then but you'll get a better service afterwards with more trains which run all the way to Walthamstow.
On Blackhorse Road and Sudden Station Closures: TFL recognise the service residents in Walthamstow have had has not been good enough. They have given me the following statement about this, and Blackhorse Road station in particular, and their plans to invest in recruiting more staff to stop this happening and ensure there are enough staff to cover all the stations. This should kick in within the next few weeks and I'll be monitoring this and following up any unplanned closures too, so will be feeding back to residents via my weekly e-newsletter on this issue if there's any cause to believe these problems will not be resolved or there could be further closures.
"Regarding Blackhorse Road and nearby stations, we clearly have not offered the services that our customers expect or deserve. As you know we implemented our new station staffing model last April which is taking time to bed in. It is clear that the resourcing at Blackhorse Road and surrounding stations needs some adjustment. We have always intended to review staffing levels and have already started to recruit 200 extra staff and this is likely to increase further. The recruitment process will take some time, but I have instructed the team to prioritise the resource needs at Blackhorse Road and the surrounding stations to deliver the level of services our customer need. In the meantime, we have drawn up emergency plans to support the existing station staffing resources. Please bear with us as we continue to do all we can to keep the station open.""

I'm gonna look pretty dumb if I'm wrong but it looks like Walthamstow Central Overground platform during the 'improvement' works.

Was it not that St John's Wood shows an escalator rather than stairs, as gantshill guessed and Colin D confirmed?

When did toilets on trains come in? I would assume it's a *fairly* new idea?

Is A the approach to Liverpool Street - that could be the old Shoreditch platform? Agreed, Bishopsgate Low Level on the approach to Liverpool Street..

I could Google it but I don't think that's in the spirit of the quiz so I'll guess at Brighton pier (for 1).
