Name the Stations #2

Based on what I think number 2 is (see below) and Oracle's comment I think this is Perivale.


I don't understand the not taking off your coat, but I'm guessing the long trip is on the Central Line to Chigwell where Sharon and Tracey are the two from Birds of a Feather (I have no idea why I know this, I didn't watch it!)


I don't know the station, but I'm guessing this is the former 8pm closure of the Hainault-Woodford section of the Central Line (iirc it was discussed on another thread here that the reason was the occupant of a house near the railway here).


I agree with Oracle that this is Bank to get some money.


You've taken the Northern Line to Moorgate I think. The "Moor" relates to the Moorish people, who are related to the modern day Turks. A gate is frequently found at the end of a garden path. I don't understand the debt collector bit though.


The interchange at Moorgate is to the SSL, and any of the Circle/H&C/Met will take you to Baker Street, where you will be able to get all sorts of pies. However I think you are more likely to get a pork pie at a butchers so I might be wrong here.








Oracle is right again here I think with Mile End


Ditto above, this is Elm Park, presumably referring to Dutch Elm Disease


As this is not an LU incident, I'm guessing it is the Great Fire of London, and so Monument will be the station in question (the monument being a monument to that event)


If I was right earlier, this will be the east end of the Central. Keeping left will take you on the Epping branch rather than via Hainault. I'm not confident on this, but the station might be Snaresbrook - the Mafia might use snares to trap people and you can drink from a brook (although whether you'd actually want to drink from the brook in question I don't know!)



I don't think it's Upminster (as Oracle suggests) as that's not noted for being particularly west. The only thing that comes to my mind is Kew Gardens, where I imagine there will be quite a few tulips.

May I ask as a favour please that you repost afresh, rather than edit your existing replies?
It will make it much easier for me to award and reward effort knowing what existing posts a later contributor might have seen. Also allow for them perhaps just reading the OP alone before submitting all their own original answers.

Many thanks.

That's me done...back to work (magazine articles). I will be interested to see any corrections as it is clear that there are sometimes more than one interpretation. The route as suggested "fits" but it could be considerably bogus.

Ouch! Yes, me included.

1. Hangar Lane
2. Chigwell
3. Grange Hill
4. Bank
5. Moorgate
6. St Pauls ( closest Station to the Old Bailey, I shall tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth)
7. Tower Hill
8. Notting Hill Gate
9. Mile End
9. Elm Park (Dutch Elm)
10. Monument
11.Theydon Bois
12. Holland Park

well here goes, 2 hours of my day wasted

1. hanger lane (guys find it hard to hang stuff up)
2. chigwell (sharon and tracy were east londoners)
3. snarebrook (sounds creepy)
4. Bank (money)
5. moor gate (moorish people = modern turks)
6. baker street (bakers make pork pies)
7. tower hill (henry had 6 wives - traiters gate!)
8. Notting hill gate (from the film notting hill which hugh grant starred in)
9. mile end (1.60934 = 1 mile)
10. monument (where the great fire of london started)
11. theydon bois (it just sounds mafia!)
12. holland park (you get thrown LITRALLY the next stop)

I've deleted the post now, as I just spotted I pasted compeltely the wrong thing! I started writing a reply (I can't remember what now) with the quick reply thing and wanted to add the embarrassed emoticon, but couldn't remember the code for it, so I copied what I'd written and pasted it into the full reply window, added the relevant smiley and clicked post, without thinking to check that I'd actually pasted what I thought I had

The link was to a friend's website that I'd looked at earlier and is completely irrelevant to this thread (and indeed forum!).

Right then let's have a summary.

Chris M's post #8 has been deleted. A shame as I saw a definite "workings" in whether the flowers on the table were unopened Daffodils or Tulips. But as the post was withdrawn, for proper personal reasons, I mention it only as it might have resulted to incorrect references in that and subsequent posts here.

We have entries from:

I have taken on board possible alternatives suggested if there have been ambiguity in the clues, but equally even if your answer is not "my" answer, I allow for that in the score where you show your workings.

I offered two clues that were obviously noted, and suggest I leave it open a little longer in case anyone else fancies a bash, or you want to reconsider your answers.

I'm working on the TfL v1.04 "Tube Map" (January 2004) - a freebie pocket foldable handout.
And trying to offer as much information and detail in my clues without it being too blatantly obvious what the answers are.

Any of you want to check the map and your answers and submit amended replies?

Stoopid question - it's the Weekend now so you all have better things to do.

I'll give it another day then post answers, but wonder if a few of you don't seem to know your "A" ends from your "D" ends.


Cheers.

....... and hopefully, to even the course, the younger members here will know the major songs from "The Sound Of Music". Can't make it much plainer than that in the scale of the whole quiz, without giving it away :-)

Apologies for "going quiet" here - not been too great the last few days. Will post answers and a new Quiz asap. :-)

cheers, All,

Any chance of the answers please. It seems to have been ages since this one went up.

Sorry if it sounds pushy!
