Hi all and welcome to the Great LU Quiz. Below are 20 questions related to the London Underground. They vary in difficulty and place & time. For each correct question you get 1 point.

All answers must be verified by me first before counting as 1 point.

2: Aldwych

9. On that branch: Epping, Ongar. I can't be bothered to list all the stations on the network that were open between its opening and it colosing, suffice to say there were a fair few.
10. Metropolitan
11. Leicester Square, Kings Cross St Pancras
13. Anywhere between Leytonstone and North Acton (inlcusive)
14. Kensington Olympia and High Street Kensington
16. Fleet Line
18. 9 on the currently open parts, I don't know how many (if any) have been constructed/adpated/whatever for the extenions yet.
19. Gloucester Road
20. Yes they can. They terminate by stopping at the station and then using the reversing siding between the running tunnels to the south of the station.

On that note, I would like to congratulate ca55ie who got a fantastic 9/20. Well done ;D The entry for the prize is now closed but there are still some questions to be answered, so why not give it a try Thanks for playing, David (London Tube) ;D EDIT: I would like to add that ca55ie has asked that the money be donated to charity instead, which it will (probably the British Red Cross), with a bit extra on top ;D |
